Watt will miss rest of season

He re-injured his back. This is unfortunate, not just because I like him, but also because it makes the Packers and Vikings schedules easier.

One of my favorite non-hawks. That sucks.

So the Houstan Texans's playoffs chances could miss the rest of the reason.

Especially with Osweiler. It was already a stretch.

The way he plays the game, he might never be the same again. Back injuries are no joke.

Watt a bummer.

It's official, he's been placed on IR.

I think he rushed coming back from surgery. He should have waited until game 3 or so.

I wonder if another team should take a lesson in that.

Thats exactly what I was going to post.... sometimes you have to save a player from himself.....

He is on the IR that can return after 6 weeks but sure it's a longshot.

You don't have to designate a player to return any more, however, so they could still take him off of IR later this year

A real shame for Houston. He's a great ambassador for the sport and a good guy. Hope he comes back healthy next year.

Understatement there! I'm looking at #5 this winter and lost track of the number of injections I've had in my back, and I'm not a very big person.

A man of that size and strength, I don't see how he can play again, let alone at such a high level.

Eric Davis, on NFL Total Access said th a t JJ "has given the ball back to his team 94 times!" As in, he has caused 94 turnovers!

That is an amazing number! Von Miller is second with 46!

I too, hope he makes a true come back.

Living in the Houston area, I get to see a lot of his off field stuff.
JJ is a Class act all the way. I'm a fan of his. Been to a couple of his softball games.
Beast on the field but always seems to be a humble gentleman off the field.
I wish his type was more prevalent in today's sport world.

That would be amazing if true. But he has 15 forced fumbles, 1 safety, and 1 interception. The 94 must include 3rd down stops to force punts.
