Texans place J.J. Watt on IR, sign DB Briean Boddy-Calhoun

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (99) goes after Oakland Raiders offense before getting injured in the first half at NRG Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2019 in Houston.

Texans defensive end J.J. Watt was placed on injured reserve Wednesday one day after he underwent surgery to repair a torn pectoral.

A three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Watt injured his left pectoral while making a tackle on Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs on Sunday.

Watt is expected to make a full recovery before next season.

The Texans re-signed defensive back Briean Boddy-Calhoun.
