JJ Watt done for the season?

[JP4CY]

Back injuries are no fun, have to think him going balls to the wall all the time doesn't help.

The #Texans have not addressed the JJ Watt injury. They will tomorrow, likely placing him on Injured Reserve, then hoping he can return.Sep 27, 2016, 8:05 PM

Huge loss for the Texans. Watt is far and away their most important player, and it isn't like the AP injury where the Vikes can lean on a dominant defense to pick up the slack.

This injury makes the AFC South a wide open race.

Probably twisted it chopping wood in the forest.

Or "sneaking" into the team facility in the middle of the night for a 2 am workout.

He's a great player but sometimes he comes off like someone who has let all the attention go to his head.

Coach O'Brien will address the press today, Wed 9/28, at 1pm after practice. If it's any indication, my Texans have already signed Antonio Smith. Even though he's something like 33 / 34 years old, I guess it makes sense if it's only a short time.

If they put him on IR then he isn't eligible to return to game action until Nov 27th. And with what they have invested in him, the Texans might take the long view and shut him down for the season even if he pushes to return. Back injuries are no joke, and the team ought to save him from himself and give him plenty of time to get healthy.

too much of the sex, messing his back up. Just ask Tiger.
