Of course, being a divisional home game raises the stakes Sunday as it is already. “He had numerous opportunities once the Broncos parted ways with him and he felt the Cowboys were the best fit for a variety of reasons”.

Watt missed all of training camp and the Texans’ four preseason games after surgery to fix a herniated disc in his back in July. The veteran is seen helping Dak Prescott.
