Friendly reminder: J.J. Watt is tougher than you. The latest proof: Watt broke his hand at practice on Wednesday and there's absolutly no chance he won't play against the Patriots on Sunday night.
"I expect to play fully."-Watt on if he'll be limited. Said he doesn't plan on adjusting or doing anything differently.

Watt on his hand injury: "I've played with worse. I'm not very worried about it. In football, you're going to play with pain."

Texans coach Bill O'Brien seemed unconcerned too.
"I don't think it will affect him at all," he said, according to the team's website.
Watt, who is one of the league's best players, has started every game since coming into the league in 2011. He has 13.5 sacks this season and registered 20.5 in 2014. He may also be from another planet.
@HoustonTexans Is he human?

@HoustonTexans @NFL I think it's a bit unfair for him to play with a cast. The dude is already a monster, don't give him a club to use too!

Meanwhile, the Texans are in the middle of a playoff race. They're currently ninth in the AFC, three spots out of the final wild-card spot, though they share the same record as the division-leading Colts in the AFC South.
