Updating previous reports, Houston Texans DE J.J. Watt (hand, groin, abdomen, back) had five torn core muscles surgically repaired in the offseason. According to a source, Watt had partially torn left and right abdominals and a partially torn right adductor longus. He also had a fully torn left adductor longus and a fully torn left adductor pectineus, which are two of the three muscles that connect the pelvic bone to the left thigh bone.
Footballguys View: Watt was far more beat up than we thought he was. They need him back to 100 percent to keep this defense playing at the high level it has the last few years.
