J.J. Watt Coming Off Injured Reserve
5 years agoThe Houston Texans officially designated defensive end J.J. Watt (pectoral) to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to sources. Watt can begin practicing with the team in hopes of returning for the wild-card round. With Houston already locking up a playoff spot last weekend, they won't risk throwing him out there in Week 17 against the Titans. However, it looks like Watt will return in the playoffs to give this defensive front a much-needed boost in both run defense and rushing the passer. Watt is likely to have his snaps limited when he does make it back, though, which will make him a risky IDP in leagues that continue into the playoffs.
