J.J. Watt questionable, could miss first ever NFL start due to illness

JJ Watt

Now in his fifth NFL season, J.J. Watt has never missed a start. That could change on Sunday, according to the Texans’ updated injury report.

Houston has listed Watt as questionable for Sunday’s game against Jacksonville due to illness.

It’s an abrupt surprise to see Watt listed here, as he practiced all week and there was no indication that anything was amiss. That said, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports that several Texans dealt with flu-like symptoms during the week, so it’s logical that Watt may have picked up the bug.

Watt seems likely to try to gut it out, as the 1-4 Texans have already struggled enough with the reigning Defensive Player of the Year’s services. It’s hard to imagine them without him.
