Texans' Watt out for year
HOUSTON — Houston’s J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus will miss the rest of the season with injuries.
Coach Bill O’Brien confirmed that both were season-ending injuries on Monday, a day after Watt broke his left leg and Mercilus, a linebacker, tore a pectoral muscle in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Watt sustained a tibial plateau fracture to end his season early.
