JJ Watt is BACK. The Houston Texans' defensive star is immediately making his presence felt as the team gears up for its Saturday Wild Card playoff matchup against the Buffalo Bills. In the pregame huddle, Watt was amped up and lighting a fire underneath his teammates, offering an explosive pre-game speech.

Naturally, the defensive rock of the team would be the one to lead the troops onto the field -- despite being limited due to a chest injury.
JJ Watt just said his pec is either gonna do two things: Hold up, or tear off the bone. Only two options. Ronnie Lott type mindset. Love it

After spending half the season on IR, Watt was fully cleared to play this weekend. While he's considered limited, he was a full participant in the team's pregame ritual. And his presence was felt.
