Don't Expect a Broken Hand to Stop J.J. Watt from Being J.J. Watt
By Kyle Koster
J.J. Watt told reporters that he broke his left hand during practice yesterday but plans to play against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Why? Because Watt is a warrior, that’s why.
Watt says people are going to make a big deal out of this, but he's played with more painful things, even this year. #Texans

Will the injury make it any easier for an offensive lineman to block Watt? Think again, pal.

OK, that’s good to know. But what about Watt’s ability to participate in made-for-the-Internet moments with fans in the interest of building his personal brand? Forget about it, brother.
Watt says this this cast won't affect his pre-game ritual of playing catch with people in the stands. Says he might drop a few more. #Texans

Watt’s week has been a study in the highs and lows of life. One day you’re enjoying the Victoria’s Secret Show, the next you’ve got a broken hand. What are the chances?
