Texans will welcome J.J. Watt back from injured reserve vs. Bills

HOUSTON -- Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will make his return from a torn pectoral muscle Saturday against the Buffalo Bills, and coach Bill O'Brien said the pass rusher will be in the game "quite a bit."

The Texans added Watt to the active roster after he missed eight games on injured reserve. He suffered a torn pectoral muscle Oct. 27 against the Oakland Raiders.

On Wednesday, Watt said the team has "a good plan" for how much he will play against the Bills. Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel cautioned that although Watt has been working hard to come back from injured reserve, the team has to make sure he's ready to play a full game.
