Retirements - in about 1 hour
J.J. Watt has slightly opened his door to return to the Houston Texans and put his retirement on hold.
Watt, who retired after the 2022 season, made his comments during an annual charity softball game in Houston that he hosted.
"I'm a very fortunate, lucky man, I have a beautiful wife, I have a beautiful son. I've had 12 great years in the league and I'm very thankful to have walked away healthy and playing great," he told reporters, "I told DeMeco (Ryans) last year: 'Don't call unless you absolutely need it, but, if you ever do call, I'll be there.' And he knows not to call unless he absolutely needs it. This is the last year I'll tell him that because I'm not going to keep training (the way) I've been training."
During his 12-year career, Watt started 151 games and tallied 114.5 sacks for Houston and Arizona.
