J.J. Watt Could Return For Playoffs
5 years agoHouston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (pectoral) could return from Injured Reserve this season, according to sources. There is optimism that he can return for the playoffs just three months after tearing his pectoral muscle. Watt had four sacks and 20 quarterback hits in eight games before his injury, so getting him back for a playoff run would obviously be massive for the Texans. He'd also be back in play in any IDP leagues that run that late into the season. Watt will have another MRI exam in a few weeks to gauge his progress, so we'll have a better idea then on whether he will be back.
