Sounds like we might not get to see Eric Fisher get another shot at JJ Watt. It’s being reported that Watt, who seems to be hurt often, had surgery for a herniated disc this week and his status for the start of the season - and Chiefs-Texans in Week 2 - is in question.

#Texans DL JJ Watt had back surgery recently, source said (as @McClain_on_NFL reported). Will begin camp on PUP list, but OK for the season

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo is reporting it could be up to a 10-week absence.
