The Texans expect to deal quarterback Deshaun Watson ahead of the league's Nov. 2 trade deadline, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Watson has a no-trade clause in his contract but would reportedly waive it if he was dealt to the Dolphins, a team that was linked to him earlier this week. It is unclear if he would waive it if the Texans made a deal with another team, per NFL Network.
The Texans have not played Watson this season and do not plan to play him. He is facing 22 civil lawsuits and 10 criminal complaints alleging sexual assault or sexual misconduct during sessions with various massage therapists in the Houston area.
