J.J. Watt was thrilled to come off the physically unable to perform list on

Thursday in time to join the Houston Texans for their first practice of training camp.Quarterback Deshaun Watson didn’t exactly share in his happiness after the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year batted down several of his passes.“He’s annoying Parris Campbell Jersey ,” Watson said with a laugh. “That’s what he is. He’s annoying.”Coach Bill O’Brien shared a similar sentiment as his quarterback when asked if he enjoyed having Watt out there.“I guess so,” O’Brien said. “He batted two passes. He was in the backfield quite a bit. So it was good to see him back there (but) from an offensive perspective, it’s always hard when he’s back in there because we’re trying to execute the play … but he’s an awesome player. Great guy. A guy that’s really put the time in in the offseason. And he’s really looking forward to having a great year.”But all jokes aside, the Texans were pleased to have a healthy Watt on the field and he said he was initially placed on the list as a precaution before being removed when they determined he was ready to go on Thursday.“We’re going to be smart throughout camp,” Watt said. “We’ll have scheduled off days and things like that but my body feels great. I just told (trainer) Geoff Kaplan walking off that today went as good as I could have expected it to go. I’m really happy and pleased with how I performed.”And Watson eventually admitted that as frustrating as competing against Watt was on Thursday that it ended up being beneficial for him.“I learned something about myself and using my eyes, not staring down defenders,” Watson said. “That was one tip I took from today that he told me about was whenever he sees me looking that direction he stopped and he just kind of stood there and timed my jump. So I learned that lesson.”Watt returns after a comeback season where he earned All-Pro honors when he had 61 tackles, led the AFC with 16 sacks, had 25 quarterback hits, 18 tackles for losses and forced a career-high seven fumbles, which tied for the most in the NFL. It was his fourth season with at least 15 sacks, which ranks second in NFL history behind Hall of Famer Reggie White, who had five.His big season came after he’d played just eight games over the previous two seasons because of injuries, and Watt was eager to see what he’ll be able to do this year after a healthy offseason.“It really excites me obviously http://www.coltsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-bobby-okereke-jersey ,” he said. “Last year I had an idea of what I wanted to accomplish and I hoped I could accomplish it but I wasn’t 100 percent sure because I hadn’t really played in a couple of years. So this year I have a lot of confidence. I have a lot of excitement and a lot of energy. I have a solid base where I know where I’m at whereas last year I was kind of feeling it out to see where I was at.”As Watt prepares for his ninth NFL season his expectations are high for both himself and this team which is looking to contend for its first title. But he knows that there’s a long way to go until Houston opens the season on Sept. 9 in prime time against the Saints and that he and the Texans will have to prove they’re contenders on the field.“It doesn’t matter what I say it matters how I play,” he said. “So when I step on that field that’s what matters. I can tell you I feel great. I can tell you I’m going to have 350 sacks this year. But when I go out there on the field that’s what’s going to prove if I’m going to be good or if I’m going to suck.”While Watt was with the Texans on Thursday, the team remained without fellow defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who has yet to sign his franchise tender after failing to get a long-term deal. Clowney is expected to miss all of training camp, but the Texans hope to have him back for the start of the season.“I can tell you unequivocally that we want Jadeveon Clowney here,” O’Brien said. “He’s a part of this team. We want him here. There’s always a difference when you’re talking about money relative to wanting him on the team. That’s something that the agent and our organization are working on, but … we would love to have him here. He’s a really talented football player that’s made a lot of good plays for us in the past.” KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are on an upward trajectory, their blistering start spearheaded by a young, transcendent quarterback in Patrick Mahomes who is already setting NFL records.The San Francisco 49ers are the opposite in every way.Not only were they soundly beaten in a 38-27 loss at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, trailing at one point by four touchdowns, they also lost their own franchise quarterback when Jimmy Garoppolo was carted off in the closing minutes with what appears to be a season-ending knee injury.49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said the team will know more Monday, when Garoppolo has another round of tests in San Francisco. But he acknowledged late Sunday that the injury appears to be an ACL.“Any time you lose your starting quarterback,” Shanahan said Khari Willis Jersey , “that’s a big deal.”The 49ers (1-2) signed Garoppolo to a five-year, $137.5 million contract earlier this year after he led them to five consecutive wins to cap last season. And despite some turnover problems the first two weeks he had been pretty good, throwing a pair of touchdown passes against Kansas City.Everything turned in the fourth quarter, though, when Garoppolo scrambled toward the sideline. His left knee buckled as he cut back, rather than step safely out of bounds, and Chiefs cornerback Steven Nelson delivered a wicked shoulder-to-shoulder shot for good measure.C.J. Beathard wound up entering the game, threw a touchdown pass that was wiped out by offensive pass interference, and never got to take another snap as the Chiefs put the game away.His next snap will probably be the first one next week against the Chargers.“It’ definitely a blow. He’s a great quarterback and obviously a great leader,” said Beathard, who started five games last season before Garoppolo arrived in a trade with New England.“Just keep these guys together. Keep leading them,” he said. “We had a lot of injuries today, not just Jimmy. A lot of guys went down today. Just a matter of keeping everybody healthy next week.”Meanwhile, the Chiefs (3-0) couldn’t be happier with the performance of their young quarterback.Mahomes threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns against San Francisco Josh Allen Jersey , giving him 13 on the year without an interception. That broke Peyton Manning’s NFL record for the first three weeks of a season.Perhaps most impressive, though, was the way Mahomes spread the wealth. He targeted 11 different receivers, connected with eight and found three with touchdown throws.“Pat lives for these moments,” said Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley, who had one of the TDs. “I think he excels when the lights are on, and in front of big crowds. I think he’s right at home. I think he’s in his element. I think he’s still growing into his role as the starting quarterback here, and we’ve just got to keep working with him and growing as well.”As the 49ers and Chiefs roll into next week, here are five takeaways from Sunday:PENALTY PROBLEMS: The 49ers were whistled for 14 penalties for 147 yards, and that doesn’t count a couple instances of off-setting flags and where they were penalized twice on the same play. That yardage total is substantial chunk of the 408 yards of total offense managed by San Francisco.SACK ATTACK: The Chiefs only had two sacks through the first two weeks, but Justin Houston had two by himself on Sunday. Dee Ford also had a sack before leaving with a groin injury, and Allen Bailey had another to help stop San Francisco’s final drive of the game.RUN, RUN, RUN: San Francisco rallied on the legs of Matt Breida http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jawaan-taylor-jersey , who led the NFL in rushing coming into the game and had 90 yards on 10 carries, and Alfred Morris, who had 14 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown. With uncertainty at quarterback, the 49ers’ ground game will be even more important.SPEAKING OF RUN: Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, last year’s rushing champ, had his first two TD runs this season. He only gained 44 yards on 18 carries against San Francisco, but many of them came in the closing minutes, when he picked up two first downs to put the game away.MORE INJURY NEWS: The 49ers lost cornerback Richard Sherman to a calf injury, safety Adrian Colbert to an ankle injury, linebacker Reuben Foster on a tackle and backup defensive back Tarvarius Moore to a wrist injury. Throw in a shoulder injury to safety Jaquiski Tartt that kept him on the inactive list and San Francisco has plenty of injury problems on defense.
