HOUSTON (CBS HOUSTON) – Thanksgiving is just another day to J.J. Watt this year.

“I’ll probably just go home and watch football and hang out,” Watt said. “I don’t have any plans. I’ll be (at the stadium for a while). I don’t have any plans.”

It is game week of course, so while there won’t be immense indulging by Watt, he’s still plenty thankful.

“Everything, there’s so many things,” he said when asked what he was thankful for this year. “I’ve been so fortunate in this life and so there is so many things to be thankful.”

So when Watt does enjoy Thanksgiving, his favorite is what a lot of people’s favorite is around this holiday.

“Well, turkey is the obvious answer. Dessert is obviously number two. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Everything.”

None of those things for Watt tomorrow, though.

“I’m not cooking tomorrow so I’m going to have whatever is in my refrigerator.”

Shane Lechler, who hosted Watt last year, is headed to family’s house so no repeat of joining the Lechlers for Watt this year.

“It’s probably best because when I went to the Lechler’s last year, I went in pretty hard.”

Sticking to his diet and no turkey-induced coma after the meal for Watt this year.

He will be longing though for a special delicacy his mom used to whip up for him.

“My mom makes this eclair cake and so I love having that every year. She makes a very delicious eclair cake that I very much enjoy. I probably shouldn’t have those so I’m glad she didn’t send me one.”

Just another day for J.J., even on turkey day.
