JJ Watt is back on the Houston Texans active roster to face the Bills in this weekend's Wildcard game. The oddsmakers still held the Texans at -2.5 immediately following confirmation, though it can be argued his likely return had already been baked into the opening line.

The news of Watts return could mean a surge of action on the Texans that may trigger the line to move to -2.
Nearly 70% of the spread action was on Buffalo as of Tuesday afternoon.
Watt has been out since tearing a pectoral muscle Oct. 27.
"When I got hurt I just assumed I was done [for the season]," Watt said after returning to practice on Dec. 24. "I didn't even know there was a possibility. And then literally a couple days after the surgery, I was feeling so good that ... I just started asking questions. I said, 'Is it remotely possible?'
"We left the door open for a possibility. And from there, it was just literally, day by day, just ... doing whatever I can do. And we arrived here."
