Watt was the Texans' tease all about.
The implication was easy enough to decipher — J.J. Watt would be going into the team's Ring of Honor, and doing so, conveniently enough, on October 1, Week 4 of the upcoming season, when the Texans will be playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, whose best player is Watt;'s younger brother, T.J.
The Houston Texans announced today that J.J. Watt will officially be inducted into the Houston Texans Ring of Honor during the team’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 1. The former three-time Defensive Player of the Year and Walter Payton Man of the Year is the third member to be inducted into the Ring of Honor, joining Robert C. McNair and Andre Johnson.
Statement from Janice, Hannah and Cal McNair: “We are so excited to have J.J. Watt join the Ring of Honor as our third member. Everybody knows how much J.J. means to our family, the Texans organization and the entire City of Houston. He is one of the most dominant players in NFL history and he created a unique and irreplaceable bond with our fans. J.J. has always kept a special place in Houston’s heart and we’re thrilled to welcome him back.
From there, the Texans tweeted out a video from Watt himself, thanking the fans of Houston and expressing his excitement on returning to the city he played in for a decade:
