That means Watt is eligible to play in the season opener against the Bears if he is healthy enough following offseason back surgery.
“I would say that we’re headed in the right direction with him”. On Friday, O’Brien said he did not have an update on Brown.
Watt missed all of training camp and the Texans’ four preseason games after surgery to fix a herniated disc in his back in July. If the Texans had put him on the regular-season PUP list, he would have had to miss at least six weeks of practice before returning to the field.
