Houston's Watt re-injures back, could miss entire season (Yahoo Sports)

A person familiar with J.J. Watt's condition says he has re-injured his back and the Houston Texans expect him to be out until at least December, and possibly the entire season. Watt missed training camp and Houston's four preseason games after surgery in July to repair a herniated disk in his back. Watt, who has won Defensive Player of the Year for the past two seasons, didn't practice on Monday, but coach Bill O'Brien said then he was just getting a day off.
