The Houston Texans have activated J.J. Watt to the 53-man roster ahead of their playoff opener Saturday against the Buffalo Bills. 

Watt is returning from a torn pectoral and is expected to play Saturday, just two months removed from the injury.

Watt returned to Texans practice last week.

Safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. was placed on the injured list. Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported Gipson "aggravated his transverse process fracture" in his lower back.

The Texans (10-6) host the Bills (also 10-6) in the wild card round at 3:35 p.m.
