Just over two months after tearing his pectoral muscle, Houston Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt is set to return to action for the team’s Wild Card Playoff game at home against the Buffalo Bills.

Coming back from a torn pectoral muscle in this time period is almost unheard of, so how much will Watt play?

According to ESPN’s Ed Werder, Watt described what his role will be today and how he will cope with his injury since he is returning way ahead of schedule from the timetable that he was given.

"Watt tells us he will have a limited role and wear a harness for his recovering pectoral muscle. He hopes fresh legs make him faster. He intends to let it loose when on field and described pass rush at practice as being good."

Earlier this week, Texans head coach Bill O’Brien detailed what he thinks Watt will bring to the table in the playoff game.

'He's playing," O'Brien said of Watt, according to the Houston Chronicle. "He'll be in there quite a bit."

Watt detailed how he is feeling during his recovery from the injury that knocked him out of the final two months of the regular season.

"It feels great," Watt said of how he's done in practice this week, according to the Houston Chronicle. "It felt like football. It felt like how it's supposed to feel. It felt great to be out there, to be hitting pads, to be working on all the things I want to work on – bull rush, tackle, pass rush moves, everything I wanted to do. So, it just feels good, feels like I'm home."

Watt entered the Oct. 27 game where he was injured with 21 tackles and four sacks on the season. He also entered with a whopping 20 quarterback hits. He has made the Pro Bowl five times, including last season. Watt has been named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year on three occasions, with recent Defensive Player of the Year honor came during the 2015 season.

Watt did not miss a game for his first five NFL seasons, but injuries limited him during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 campaigns. The defensive end played just three games in 2016 due to back surgery. Watt was able to return in time for the season opener the following season, but he broke his leg in the fifth game of the year.

The Texans star returned from his second injury-shortened year with a vengeance in 2018. Watt led the NFL with seven forced fumbles last season, while starting all 16 of his games for Houston. Watt also added 16 sacks, the fourth-highest total of his career, and 18 tackles for loss.

You can watch Watt in action today at 4:35 p.m. EST on ESPN when the Texans host the Bills. The Texans will look to flip the script in terms of their recent play in the playoffs, as they have lost four of their last five postseason games, with all of the losses coming by 13 or more points.
