Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson might be sporting a new look in Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Watson sported a clear protective visor on his helmet during practice Friday. That's a reasonable safety precaution considering he got kicked in the left eye by a Raiders player in Sunday's game.

He is considering wearing the visor Sunday. Watson used a visor in high school, college, and during the NFL offseason.
"It doesn't bother me," he said, when asked if he'd be comfortable wearing the visor in a game. "I can take it off. We don't want anything, depending on how the eye as far as just the redness and stuff. It's really just between me and the doctors and how we feel and what's best to not get an infection or anything."
Watson has been dealing with redness in his eye and swelling around it since the incident, but he said his vision is fine.
"I felt fine," Watson said (via the Houston Chronicle). "I've been feeling like my normal self. It's red right now. It's still a little swollen. I have vision and everything. I took a vision test and everything was great, no problems."
