HOUSTON -- Defensive end J.J. Watt tore his pectoral muscle in Week 8, but the Houston Texans aren't ruling out the chance that he could return this season.
On Monday, head coach Bill O'Brien was asked whether "Watt has made enough progress to be considered to come back" this season.
"I'm going to tell you that J.J. is working very very hard," O'Brien said. "And he's certainly made progress based solely on his work ethic and who he's working with in the training room. And we'll see how it goes."
