Add staph infection to the long list of ailments that Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt suffered -- and played through -- during the 2015 season.
Watt, in a post for The Players' Tribune, credits a Texans trainer for looking at "some weird bumps on my knee" and recognizing the infection. He said he was later told by a team doctor that, if it had gone undiagnosed, he could have lost his leg.
During that 2015 season, Watt said he also suffered a broken hand, two torn abs, three torn adductor muscles and a herniated disc on two occasions.
