Your Houston Texans lost two of their best three defensive players in the Sunday Night Football loss to the Chiefs tonight. Whitney Mercilus got hurt first and left the field with a “chest injury.” Then J.J. Watt got hurt on the same series and was eventually determined to have suffered a season-ending leg injury.
Now we’ve learned that Mercilus’ injury is also of the season-ending variety, because when it rains it pours.
#Texans Whitney Mercilus has a torn pectoral and will be out for the year.
