HOUSTON -- On Tuesday, Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt practiced for the first time since he tore a pectoral muscle nearly two months ago.
When Watt got the news on Oct. 27 that he had torn the muscle, he assumed he was done for the season and said he “didn’t even know that there was a possibility” that he could come back.
But a couple days after he had surgery, he “was feeling so good,” that he asked his doctors whether he actually had a chance to be able to return before the end of the season.
