HOUSTON – During an appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show," Texans defensive end J.J. Watt revealed some additional details about his surgery that took place just after the season on Jan. 12.
Â
He said he was doing fine following sports hernia surgery.
Â
"I had both sides (of my groin) done. I had a lot done," Watt said in describing the first surgery of his career.
Â
"I actually have six incisions.
Â
"There's a lot going on down there. It is not good down there," Watt joked.Â
Â
"It ended up being a bit more extensive than we planned originally," Watt said about the procedure. "There was more wrong than we thought, but I have great people taking care of me. They're doing a great job."
Â
He didn't comment on his recovery time, but he is expected to be able to participate in some of the Texans' offseason activities.Â
Â
Watt is the favorite to win the AP Defensive Player of the Year award -- which will be handed out as part of the NFL Honors show on Saturday night ahead of the Super Bowl.
