An official announcement hasn't yet been made, but Deshaun Watson will start for the Houston Texans against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a source.

Watson has taken first-team reps this week at practice. Tom Savage started Week 1, but was replaced by the rookie quarterback.

"No one wants to be benched," Savage said. "I want to go out there and play like I did and compete -- throw the ball to the playmakers and give them a chance. And that's it."
