Heard JJ Watt lobbied to do the surgery himself

 

[Street Hawk]

Medical staff for the Texans can't allow Watt to rush himself and come back before he is healed.

Makes little sense to risk the final 14 games of the season to rush back by game 2. Heal and be a dominate player for 13/14 games rather than be hobbled throughout the season.

 

[What the Faulk]

The AFC South might not be the best division next year (I know, I'm really going out on a limb there), but it might be the most interesting. The Texans have a team again, Luck is presumably healthy, Jacksonville is on the rise, and Tennessee getting some help for Mariota is going to be fun to watch.

 

[ShootIt]

Was this something that they tried to see could heal before opting for surgery? Or was it a recent injury?

There does not seem to be any context as to how it happened.

There does not seem to be any context as to how it happened.

He was carrying the team on the effected area.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Not good news. Probably destined for a dominant but short career

 

[Avs_19]

I don't know when this happened but he didn't look right against the Pats.

 

[Halladay]

Ouch, there goes the Texans season.

 

[EpochLink]

It's time for Clowney to take the next step and be that force in defense.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Won't happen. Sucks for Watt. Back issues before 30.

 

[Reality Check]

Clowney's whole career has been based off one hit on an undersized Michigan RB.

They didn't listen to you.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Nah he had 14 sacks as a true soph. He has the tools but he never developed any kind of pass rush skillset. You can't win on pure speed and athleticism in the NFL very often.

 

[GKJ]

Back problems for a D-end is really bad

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

They'll probably still win the division. Which says more about the Colts, Jags and Titans than the Texans.

Nfl.com has this article saying he's played on IR.

That means he's done for the season.

It doesn't.

 

[Elvis P]

Hardy's story about Someone Slipped It in My Wallet is smarter than the way Watts handled his rehab. JJ was doing one legged squats in the hospital after his surgery, he wouldn't listen to anyone about his rehab, and he'll never be the same player he was again.

That means he's done for the season.

It means he needs to sit for a minimum of 8 weeks, so it does not mean he is done for the season.

 

[Voight]

Clowney better step it the F up then and prove he's not a bust.

AT least This will give a chance for the Von Millers of the league to win DPOY.
