Watt Out for Season

Written by:  B. Keith "Grizz" Crear | SFL Photographer/Sports Blogger

JJ Watt injured himself in the second quarter after going for a tackle. He was holding his arm as he left the field, and went into the blue tent on the sideline to be evaluated. After being taken to the locker room for further examination and an MRI, it was later discovered that Watt had suffered a season ending pec-injury.

As the Texans took the field for the second half, Watt was ruled out due to the injury. He finished the day with three tackles. He was "gutted" and will be placed on injury reserve. So what does this mean for the Texans defense? With the absence Clowney gone to Seattle, will Mercilus have the impact to keep the defense afloat?

What will happen to JJ Watt for next season? One begins to wonder if it's time to hang up the jersey. This will be the 3rd time within 4 seasons that Watt will miss and be placed on injury reserve.
