J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney both missed practice for the Houston Texans today. This probably doesn't mean anything considering it is only Wednesday, but it is still worth noting. It would be a huge help to the Titans terrible offensive line if both of these guys had to sit out the game.
Watt is dealing with a back injury that happened last week against the Dolphins. He left the game briefly when the injury first happened but returned. Here is what he had to say after practice:
J.J. Watt: 'I'm dealing with a minor back issue and I expect to play on Sunday.'

As for Clowney, Texans coach Bill O'Brien said after practice that he is suffering from a "24-hour bug:"
Bill O'Brien said J.J. Watt has a minor injury and will be able to play. Jadeveon Clowney has a 24-hour bug

He will probably return to practice tomorrow.
