After undergoing his second back surgery in a little more than two months, J.J. Watt missed the 2016 NFL season from Week Four on. Despite the gigantic absence that was created by the loss of the best player in the NFL, the Texans’ defense managed to remain an elite unit as other players (especially Jadeveon Clowney) stepped up.
We haven’t heard much from Watt about his progress since the day before he had that second surgery, though we did see him on Houston’s sideline toward the latter part of the season.
