Like one of his passes, Watson’s future remains up in the air.

Watson was scheduled to undergo a physical followed by meetings.

The 26-year-old is facing a likely league suspension for violating its personal conduct policy following allegation­s by two dozen massage therapists in

Texas that he was sexually inappropri­ate with them during sessions while he played for Houston.

Lynch played 11 seasons in the NFL, all in Kansas City, and finished with 17 intercepti­ons, 18 sacks and 14 fumble recoveries.
