J.J. Watt Could Play In Week 17
5 years agoHouston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (pectoral) should begin practicing soon and could return in Week 17 if the team has yet to lock up a playoff berth. If Houston clinches a playoff spot by beating the Buccaneers on Saturday, the Texans will hold Watt out and wait to activate him from Injured Reserve until the playoffs. Watt is an all-world defensive force when healthy, but he could be limited in what he can do if he's back for the Texans in Week 17 or in the postseason. For those playing in IDP leagues that extend into the playoffs, Watt would be a pretty risky play, but his presence on the field would no doubt boost Houston's overall defense.
