Former Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is keeping the door open to return to the football field in 2024.
"I told (head coach DeMeco Ryans) last year, I said, '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," Watt told Brandon Scott of SportsRadio 610 on Saturday.
The 35-year-old added that this is the last season he'll leave the offer on the table for the Texans, saying he's a "very fortunate and lucky man" to have walked away healthy after a 12-year career.
