Chooses Arizona
Watt announced via his official Twitter account Monday that he is signing with the Cardinals.
Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Watt is signing a two-year deal worth $31 million, with $23 million guaranteed. The 31-year-old defensive end had been linked to numerous teams around the league while a free agent, including the Packers, Bills, Titans and Browns, but he'll instead rejoin former Houston teammate DeAndre Hopkins in the desert. Watt will get an immediate chance to compete in the NFC West with the Cardinals, and lining up opposite Chandler Jones (biceps) will no doubt provide him…read more

Released by Houston
Watt was released by the Texans on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 31-year-old was under contract for $17.5 million in 2021, but with no remaining guarantees, his release doesn't result in any dead money against the cap. Watt, who just completed his 10th season in Houston, recorded 52 tackles (36 solo), five sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception in 16 games during the 2020 campaign. He figures to have plenty of suitors as an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Watt announced via his personal Twitter account he requested his release, which was…read more

Future with Texans unclear
Watt is expected to meet with Texans' representatives in the near future to discuss his future with the organization, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport and Mike Garafolo go on to suggest it seems likely Watt's tenure with the Texans will end this offseason, but there's been no official indication from the franchise as of now. The veteran defensive end has one year left on his contract with no guaranteed money remaining on the deal, meaning the team could cut Watt and allow the franchise icon to pursue other options in the offseason. Deshaun Watson's recent trade request likely complicates matters more for the Texans, so it's unclear…read more

Considers future in Houston
Watt finished 2020 with 52 tackles, five sacks, seven passes defensed, one interception, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one touchdown over 16 games.
Analysis: Watt played a full season for just the second time in the last five years. At 31 -- 32 come March 22 -- Watt is not the one-man wrecking ball he was earlier in his career, but his production in 2020 graded out ninth among edge rushers, per Pro Football Focus. He's entering the final year of a six-year contract, but pending organizational changes has him considering his future in Houston, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. Watt indicated there are too many unknowns, including no…read more

Active in loss
Watt recorded six tackles, four for a loss and a sack in Sunday's 26-20 loss to Indianapolis.
Analysis: Watt snapped a three-game drought without a quarterback takedown and now has five for the season. Through 13 games, he also has 43 tackles, seven passes defensed, an interception, a touchdown, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

Scores on Thanksginving
Watt had four tackles, a quarterback hit and an interception return for a touchdown in Thursday's 41-25 win over the Lions.
Analysis: One week after deflecting four passes, Watt held onto one and went untouched to the end zone for the third touchdown of his career and first since 2014. He's no longer the sack machine that he was early in his career, but Watt still impacts games in his 10th NFL season.

Deflects four passes
Watt recorded two tackles, including one for a loss, and four passes defensed in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Watt tormented quarterback Cam Newton while getting his hands on a single-game career-high four passes, including two during a drive on which New England was within shouting distance of the end zone in the fourth quarter. He has seven pass blocks for the season.

Records 100th career sack
Watt had two tackles, a sack, an additional quarterback hit and a forced fumble in Sunday's 27-25 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: The sack is a memorable one for Watt; it was the 100th of his career. He's up to four sacks through eight games -- well off the pace of his productive earlier seasons -- but he still brings disruption and forces offenses to give him attention.

Disruptive in loss
Watt had four tackles, a sack, a pass defensed and a forced fumble in Sunday's 42-36 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: With Tennessee offensive tackle Taylor Lewan hurt, Watt schooled his replacement, Ty Sambrailo, to strip sack Ryan Tannehill. The fumble was recovered by teammate Jacob Martin at the Titans four-yard line and set up Houston's first lead of the day late in the third quarter. The sack was Watt's first since Week 2 and gives him a team-high three.

Four tackles in loss
Watt had four tackles in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Watt has remained healthy thus far and played a season-high 72 snaps against the Steelers. He has 10 tackles and two sacks through three weeks.

Records two sacks
Watt had two tackles, both sacks, three quarterback hits overall and a pass defensed in Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 2.
Analysis: Watt had been on the injury report last week with a hip injury, but the Texans may have been cautious with their star defensive lineman. He recorded the first sacks of 2020, but he was also part of a defense that got rolled by a running game (230 yards, 6.2 YPC) for the second straight week.

No injury tag for Week 2
Watt (hip) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Watt was limited in practice all week, but it doesn't look as though he was ever truly dealing with an injury that threatened his status for Week 2. The veteran defensive end has played only one full 16-game slate since 2016, so the Texans may simply intend to limit his practice reps as a precaution going forward.

Limited participant Wednesday
Watt (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Watt is accustomed to playing through injuries, and there isn't a major concern about his status since he's still on the field in some capacity. Still, it's worth monitoring his status since he's Houston's best defensive player, playing 91 percent of snaps in Week 1.

Records three tackles
Watt had three tackles and two quarterback hits in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs in Week 1.
Analysis: Watt was on the field for 63 of 69 defensive snaps (91 percent) and lined up at end and the interior of the line. With just one full season in the last five, the 31-year-old Watt is an injury risk but also a high-reward lineman who can disrupt offenses.

Practices Sunday
Watt returned to practice for the first time since Aug. 14, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Watt has been limited to sideline workouts as a precautionary measure and is not injured. "It's always good for us when he's out at practice, no doubt about it," Texans coach and general manager Bill O'Brien said. "He's on a schedule there to get him ready for the season and it's just good that he's out at practice." The three-time Defensive Player of the Year has spent significant time on the injured list three of the past four seasons.

Workload being managed
Watt didn't practice for a second consecutive day Monday and is not expected to do much this coming week, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Watt, who missed eight games with a torn pectoral muscle in 2019, does not have a new injury. The Texans merely don't want to expose Watt to potential injury during camp, thereby preserving him for the opener on Sept. 10 against the Chiefs.

Quiet postseason
Watt had a combined two tackles, one sack and one pass defensed in Houston's two playoff games.
Analysis: Watt showed his grit, returning from October pectoral surgery to compete in the postseason, but he did not have the same impact a fully healthy Watt might have had. He was able to play 58 percent of the defensive snaps, which indicates he wasn't 100 percent. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year finished the regular season with 24 tackles, four sacks, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over eight games. It was the third time in four seasons that Watt was…read more

Limited at Wednesday's practice
Watt (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: Watt returned from the eight-game absence and played 61 percent of defensive snaps in Saturday's win over the Bills, and he's expected to see a higher snap count versus the Chiefs this weekend. The 30-year-old finished last week practicing fully and didn't receive an injury designation, and there's a good chance he does so again this week.

More playing time expected
Watt is expected to see his snap count increase in Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Chiefs, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Houston head coach Bill O'Brien thought Watt felt "good coming out of" last week's win over the Bills and will continue to evaluate the defensive end leading up to Sunday. Watt, who played last week for the first time since October surgery on his pectoral muscle, was on the field for 52 of 85 snaps against the Bills. His workload increased in the second half and overtime, so it's logical to think Watt will get more playing time against Kansas City.

Records sack in return
Watt had one tackle, one sack and two quarterback hits in Saturday's 22-19 overtime win over the Bills in an AFC wild-card playoff game.
Analysis: Watt played his first game since suffering a pectoral injury in October that required surgery. He played 52 of 85 (61 percent) defensive snaps, primarily on passing downs. He provided more than just an inspirational lift for the Texans, who move on to the Divisional Round next Sunday against the Chiefs in Kansas City.

Practices without limitations
Watt (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's playoff contest against the Bills.
Analysis: Watt was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Though the star defensive end doesn't officially carry an injury designation, it's likely that he's still working to recover from the torn pectoral muscle he sustained in October, the severity of which caused him to miss eight games on injured reserve. Watt appears set to handle a part-time workload during Saturday's wild-card contest.

Ready for wild-card round
Coach Bill O'Brien said Thursday that Watt (shoulder) will take the field "quite a bit" in Saturday's playoff game against the Bills, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.
Analysis: The Texans activated Watt off injured reserve Tuesday, and he was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury. The star defensive end is also likely still recovering from the torn pectoral muscle he sustained in October, but he's on track to play through both issues. While Watt appears very unlikely to handle his usual every-down role Saturday, he boasts the ability to make an impact even as a part-time pass rusher.

Limited Wednesday
Watt (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Watt only recently returned to practice and apparently picked up a shoulder injury in Tuesday's session in addition to playing through a still-healing torn pectoral. Expect the Texans to take it easy with the 30-year-old in the hopes he'll be able to go in a part-time role against the Bills in Saturday's Wild Card round.

Will return for playoff matchup
Watt (pectoral) has been activated from injured reserve and will play in Saturday's playoff game against the Bills, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: It was though that Watt's season was over when he underwent surgery for a torn pectoral muscle in October, but he was able to recover more quickly than expected and will return to action in the postseason. Watt is not expected to play every snap Saturday, but his presence on the field in any capacity will no doubt need to be accounted for by Buffalo.

Returns to practice
Watt (pectoral) will participate in Tuesday's practice, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Coach Bill O'Brien wouldn't expand on Watt's status for Saturday's Wild Card game against the Bills, but the door is still open depending on how he progresses through the practice week. As Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported last week, if Watt's able to suit up, it's unlikely he's an every-down player, which is reasonable considering torn pectoral muscles usually take longer than eight weeks to recover from. However, even if Watt's not at full strength, his pass-rushing prowess would…read more

Not every-down player
Watt (pectoral) does not expect to be an every-down player if he is activated off the injured list, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Watt was recently designated to return from injured reserve and began practicing with teammates. "I feel extremely excited about being able to be back on the practice field with the guys," Watt said at a Tuesday press conference at NRG Stadium. "There's an element of risk involved as well. To me, the opportunity to play in the playoffs, it's just there's nothing I want more. It's built in there." If ready to play, Watt is expected to make appearances on passing downs and provide a lift to a…read more

Aiming for wild-card appearance
Watt (pectoral), who was designated for return from injured reserve Tuesday, will start practicing this week with the intention of being available for the Texans' first postseason game, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Texans will be playing hosts to an unknown opponent in the wild-card round, and getting Watt back from a torn left pectoral will be welcome news to a pass rush that has managed 31 sacks, which is the eighth fewest in the NFL through 15 games.

Designated for return from IR
Watt (pectoral) is being designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Watt will now be eligible to return to practice and will have a 21-day window to be added to the Texans' active roster, giving him a chance to return for a playoff run only two months after undergoing what was initially thought to be season-ending pectoral surgery. The star defensive end has far surpassed expectations in regards to recovery time and would be a welcome addition to a Houston front that currently ranks 25th in the NFL with 31 sacks in 2019.

Postseason return likely
Watt (pectoral) is expected to return to practice in the coming weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport added the caveat that should the Texans clinch a playoff berth with a victory Saturday over the Buccaneers, Watt likely wouldn't make his return until the first week of the postseason; however, the defensive end could very well be out on the field next Sunday should the team still be in a fight for its playoff life. It's obvious that Watt's recovery following October surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle is going well, to the point where the 30-year-old appears to be a near lock to…read more

Hopeful for postseason return
Houston is hopeful that Watt (pectoral) will be able to return from injured reserve at some point during the postseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: When Watt tore his left pectoral muscle in late October and required surgery, the defensive end acknowledged his season was likely over. However, Watt's outlook has since improved considerably, with the Texans reportedly planning to save one of its two IR/designated-to-return spots for the 30-year-old. Rapoport acknowledges that there's even a "slim" possibility Watt could make it back for Week 17, but Houston will keep its focus on getting the three-time Defensive Player of the Year back for…read more
