Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans responded to future Hall of Fame pass-rusher J.J. Watt's offer to come out of retirement and return to the team.

Ryans told the media on Monday that "I love to hear J.J. saying he's ready" and that "I've got his number ready to go just in case" the three-time Defensive Player of the Year wants to step back onto the field.

On Saturday, Watt told reporters that he would "be there" for the Texans if they "absolutely need" him to come back.
