What a crushing blow for the Houston Texans.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported just after the Texans defeated the Oakland Raiders that the Texans fear DE J.J. Watt may have suffered a torn pec, which would end his 2019 season.

The #Texans may have lost star DE JJ Watt to a serious injury. Source said the fear is that Watt suffered a torn pec, which would knock him out for the season. He’ll have an MRI to determine the full extent of the issue.

Watt is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the full extent of the issue, but he seems to know that his season is done as he would soon take to Twitter and confirm that he was done.

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.
