HOUSTON (SportsRadio 610) - The Houston Texans have fined multiple players for attending the grand opening of Deshaun Watson's new restaurant, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reported Tuesday.
Watson, a minority owner of Lefty's Famous Cheesesteaks, held the event on Dec. 15 at the brand new location, which is about half a mile from NRG Stadium.
Watson was joined by at least six teammates including offensive linemen Laremy Tunsil, Tytus Howard, and Roderick Johnson. Also in attendance were running back Duke Johnson, receiver Brandin Cooks and defensive end Charles Omenihu.
Per the NFL COVID-19 guidelines, no more than three players can gather together outside of the team's headquarters.
According to Barshop's sources, at least one player was fined $5,000 and Watson was fined more because he was the host of the event.
"I mean, we had the masks," Watson said, via ESPN. "We did everything that we were supposed to do. Six feet from different people. It was a restaurant opening. It wasn't really an event. It was a grand opening of my restaurant."
