Despite the injury, the Astros were still clearly on his mind. In addition to his orange-and-blue baseball cap, an Astros jersey was hanging in the background of his hospital room photo.
"If I tweet anything crazy during the Astros game tonight, just blame it on the pain meds," Watt joked in the tweet.
This is Watt’s third major injury in four years.
