The Houston Texans opened up the possibility of J.J. Watt returning from injured reserve in the postseason.

Watt suffered a torn pectoral muscle earlier in the season. The Texans' pass rush has subsequently suffered without Watt.

"J.J. is working very very hard," said Bill O'Brien on Monday. "He's certainly made progress based on his work ethic and who he's working with in the training room. We will see how it goes."
