Watt is the anchor of Houston’s defensive line. Once the most feared defender in the game, the veteran hasn’t been quite as dominant in recent years due to a string of injuries, this latest being another difficult one to endure.

So far this season, Watt has 21 tackles and four sacks to his credit.
