Defensive end J.J. Watt has reinjured his back, according to NFL Media, and the rest of his season could be in jeopardy.

A person familiar with J.J. "They will tomorrow, likely placing him on Injured Reserve, then hoping he can return".

Watt underwent a microdiscectomy procedure in late July to fix a herniated disk.

Together again! Elderly couple forced into separate nursing homes finally reunited
Wolfram and Anita, an elderly Canadian couple, was forced to separate last August when each was sent to a different nursing home. She pleaded with the community to help speed up the move, especially since her grandfather suffers from dementia .

Houston moved quickly to add a veteran presence to the defensive line Tuesday night, agreeing to terms with former Texans defensive tackle Antonio Smith, a different person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.

Watt was still shedding rust since undergoing offseason back surgery, but had a resurgent game last week against the Kansas City Chiefs when he recorded 1 ½ sacks and a fumble recovery. He started each of the team's three regular-season games and got hurt again Thursday against the Patriots. He's been a first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowler in each of the past four seasons and has won the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year Award in three of the past four years.

Houston selected Watt with the 11th overall pick in the 2011 draft. There was a time after his surgery in January where he wondered about his future in the NFL. He has played 83 consecutive games for the Texans despite various injuries, including the torn core muscles and a broken hand last season. He has 76 sacks in 83 regular-season games, winning National Football League defensive player of the year honors in 2012, 2014 and 2015. He has 45 passes defended in his six-year career.
