Texans' Justin Watson: Season derailed by calf issue
Watson recorded three receptions for 30 yards on four targets over three regular-season games.
Watson, who also suffered a postseason-ending concussion in the wild-card win over the Steelers, logged 40 percent or more of the offensive snaps in Week 1 and Week 2 before succumbing to a calf injury that landed him on injured reserve until the Week 18 matchup against the Colts. The wide receiver only logged 19 percent of the offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in his return. Rookie Jaylin Noel seems to have absorbed Watson's role in the offense, and it is unclear if the veteran will be able to reclaim his role heading into the 2026 season.

Texans' Justin Watson: Won't play in divisional round
Watson (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Patriots.
The veteran wideout from Penn sustained a concussion in the Texans' wild-card win over the Steelers on Monday and wasn't able to clear protocol in time to play in the divisional round. Watson appeared in just three regular-season games for Houston in 2025, catching three of four targets for 30 yards. While he's sidelined Sunday, expect Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson to have expanded roles in the Texans' receiving corps.

Texans' Justin Watson: Returns to practice Wednesday
Watson (calf) had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday.
Watson has been on injured reserve since getting injured in Week 2, but Wednesday's development marks a key step in his recovery process, as Watson will rejoin his teammates at practice. The Texans will have 21 days to add Watson back to the active roster from IR. Such a move could come prior to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, though Houston may ease Watson back in at practice given his extensive layoff.
