J.J. Watt is experiencing pain in the elbow he dislocated during training camp last season.

Watt played last season with a protective brace and had a historically dominant campaign. Watt will have to play 2013 with the brace again.

“It’s well-documented I’m not a fan of the brace,” Watt said. “But it’s back for good. I’ve been working the arm real hard and it just got a little sore.”
