The Houston Texans have officially named Tyrod Taylor the starting quarterback for Week 1.

Deshaun Watson is also on the Texans' 53-man roster but is expected to be a healthy scratch on game days for Houston. Watson, who requested a trade in January, faces 22 civil lawsuits for allegations of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior.

Watson is not expected to play for Houston in 2021 despite the fact that he has not been restricted from taking part in team activities or playing in games by the NFL.
