With J.J. Watt missing the entire preseason after undergoing back surgery less than two months ago and having only returned to practice last week, the prevailing thought was that the Texans would limit Watt’s snaps against the Bears even if J.J. claimed he could handle his usual workload. Well, the Texans did technically limit Watt’s snaps yesterday, at least as it compares to how much he’s been on the field since 2013, but the limitation was quite slight.
What "pitch count" ? JJ Watt played on 88 percent of Texans defensive snaps in yesterday's win.
