Texans 'dodge bullet' with Watt elbow injury
J.J. Watt - DL - Houston Texans
Aug. 3, 2012 - 10:10 AM ET

Texans LE J.J. Watt suffered a dislocated elbow in Thursday's training camp practice.

Watt had to be carted off the field, and coach Gary Kubiak expressed initial concern that Watt could miss the preseason. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, however, that Watt is expected to "not miss much time" after doctors popped the joint back in Thursday afternoon. "We dodged another bullet," said Kubiak. "All the tests came out good." A linchpin in one of the league's most talented defenses, Watt is in no danger of missing regular-season action.
