Houston Texans have been caught up in a big spending spree lately, having given tackle Laremy Tunsil a record-breaking deal and starting contract negotiations with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Still, Texans’ Pro Bowl defensive end J.J. Watt has no intention to use this situation to secure himself a new deal as well.

Watt currently has two years left on his contract, paying him $15.5 million and $17.5 million in 2020 and 2021, respectively, but neither of them carries any guaranteed money. And while this would be enough for most players to start making demands, Watt opted to take a different route.    

“No, I don’t think that’s necessary,” Watt told Houston Chronicle in a recent chat. “I’m not going to sit here and demand anything. If I asked for an extension or money right now, I think that would be the wrong move.”

Many will agree that J.J. Watt is taking a smart approach with not rushing his extension. While Watt is one of the best defensive players in the league when he’s on the field, the fact is that he wasn’t so often on it in the past four years. After playing every game in his first five seasons in the league, he missed 32 games since 2016 while struggling with various injuries.

Watt likely wants to prove he can remain healthy and have a strong campaign in 2020, which would give him more leverage in future negotiations and allow him to land a potentially record-setting deal.

Houston Texans are about to get a big boost for their upcoming playoff run. Their star defensive end J.J. Watt returned to practice on Tuesday and is expected to play in Texans’ first postseason game.

Watt tore his pectoral muscle in Week 8 in the game against Oakland Raiders and had surgery shortly after. He was expected to miss the remainder of the season and was placed on Injured Reserve. However, his rehab went better than expected, and Houston decided to activate him off IR in hopes he will be ready for playoffs.

“I’ll practice this week and work my way back,” Watt told reporters on Tuesday. “And obviously next week continue to practice and get ready for a playoff game. I’ll start today working my way back into practice, not going crazy with it, easing my way back in, throughout the rest of this week and then obviously next week practice leading into the first playoff game.”

J.J. Watt missed significant time in 2016 and 2017 but bounced back last season by playing all 16 games and earning a Pro Bowl nod. He was on pace to have another productive year in 2019 before going down with the injury. Watt now hopes to contribute Texan’s playoff run and help them make an impact in the postseason after a long time.

Houston Texans won the AFC South and secured the first playoff game at home by beating Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16. They play the last regular-season game against Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

It looks like Houston Texans’ star defensive end J.J. Watt hasn’t played his last game of the 2019 NFL season after all. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Watt is recovering faster than expected and might be ready in time to help Texans’ playoff run.

Watt suffered a torn pectoral in late October and was initially ruled out for the season. However, his rehab has been going exceptionally well lately, which made Houston optimistic about his return in 2019. According to reports, Texans are now holding their remaining injured reserve/designated to return spot for the 30-year-old.

Watt is expected to undergo an MRI later this month to get an idea about his progress. The player himself, however, is optimistic that he will get a positive result. 

“It’s going extremely well,” –Watt recently told NBC. “I feel unbelievable. The doctors, the rehab guys are taking great care of me and I feel really, really good.”

J.J. Watt established himself as of the best pass rushers in the game since entering the league in 2011, but the injuries slowed him down in the past few years. He dealt with a number of injuries since 2016 which caused him to miss close to 30 games in the past four years.

Before going down with an injury, Watt had 24 tackles and 4.0 sacks in 2019.

Houston Texans’ defensive end J.J. Watt will once again have to watch the rest of the NFL season unfold from afar. On Monday, Watt confirmed on social media that he will have to miss the rest of the year after suffering an injury in Sunday’s game against Oakland Raiders.

This is the third time in the last four years that Watt has to end his season prematurely due to injuries.

Watt injured his shoulder in the second quarter of Raiders’ game and didn’t return to the field. He had three tackles until then.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the 30-year-old Pro Bowler suffered a torn pec, and will have to undergo surgery this week. He will be out for at least four months, but should return in time for OTAs and minicamp next year.

“This game can be beautiful, and it can also be brutal.” – Watt wrote on social media on Monday. “Absolutely gutted that I won’t be able to finish the season with my guys and give the fans what they deserve. I truly love this game and can’t stand letting you guys down. Thank you for all of the thoughts & well-wishes.”

After not missing a single game during his first five years in the league, J.J. Watt was limited to only three games in the 2016 season due to back injury. He returned from injury in time to start the 2017 NFL season, but couldn’t finish it as he suffered a leg fracture in Week 5 that sidelined him for the rest of the year.

Watt played all 16 games last season, having a productive year in which he had 61 tackles, 16.0 sacks, seven fumbles, and four passes deflected. In the eight games he played in in 2019, he had 24 tackles and 4.0 sacks.

Three times NFL Defensive Player of the Year, defensive end J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans, has suffered an injury in the Sunday night’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and will miss the rest of the season. In the first quarter of the game against the Chiefs, Watt twisted his leg and went down in pain, later being diagnosed with tibial plateau fracture. He underwent a successful surgery on Monday.

J.J. Watt was heartbroken after the injury and sent a message on Twitter.

After being elected in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans with the 11th overall pick, J.J. Watt went on to become one of the league’s best defensive players. Still, in the recent years, he became injury prone. In 2015 he suffered a groin injury and fractured left hand, but managed to play all 16 games of the season. At the beginning of 2016, Watt underwent groin surgery for a sports a hernia and later a back surgery for a herniated disc. Despite recovering enough to play three games, he once again had to undergo back surgery and was ruled out for the rest of the 2016 season.

Watt wasn’t the only Texans’ player that got hurt on Sunday night. Whitney Mercilus left the game before Watt, and the test showed that he suffered torn pectoral, meaning he is ruled out for the season.

To have their seasons cut short because of an injury, it’s tough,” – the Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien said. “But, and that’s a big but, this football team understands that it is the ‘Next man up’ philosophy. The train doesn’t stop moving. The train keeps going. That’s the deal with the League. That’s what makes the NFL what it is.
