J.J Watt with season ending injury

Houston Texans star J.J. Watt experienced a torn pectoral injury Sunday versus the Oakland Raiders and will miss the rest of the 2019 season.

Watt exposed the news on Twitter after the 27-24 win: “This game can be beautiful and it can also be brutal. Absolutely gutted that I won’t be able to finish the season with my guys and give the fans what they deserve. I truly love this game and can’t stand letting you guys down. Thank you for all of the thoughts & well-wishes.”

Watt appeared to injure his pectoral muscle while tackling Raiders running back Josh Jacobs for a 6-yard loss in the second quarter. Watt left the field for the Texans’ blue medical tent before running to the locker room.

The Texans first announced he was questionable to return to the game before later ruling him out at the start of the third quarter.

“We feel terrible for him. He works so damn hard, and he’s such a good person. Can’t replace him on or off the field,” a source told Russini.

Before he left the game, Watt had three tackles, a tackle for a loss and a pass defended. Watt has four sacks this season, but ESPN’s pass rush win rate powered by NFL Next Gen Stats shows the impact Watt has had on the field.

Watt created the first pressure on 62 pass rushes, easily the most in the NFL. No other player had more than 49 first pressures created.

Watt also created 19 incompletions via first pressure, which is the most of any player in the NFL. Watt was able to have that success despite being double-teamed on 29.8% of his pass rushes as an edge rusher.

Only Jadeveon Clowney was double-teamed at a higher rate as an edge rusher this season.
