Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported that Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt had minor surgery in his knee after their season came to an end against the Indianapolis Colts. Watt was first listed on the injury report with a knee injury back in Week 12 and was a limited participant in practice through the remainder of the season. He also dealt with an elbow injury after getting hurt in the last game of the regular season against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Watt remained productive despite those injuries and proved that he was back to his old self after dealing with back and knee injuries the past couple of seasons.
