The Hall of Fame might have to wait. Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who earned high praise for his work early in camp, wasn’t able to finish practice Thursday with an elbow injury.

Dale Robertson of the Houston Chronicle reports that Watt was taken to the training room by cart after getting his arm “caught in a tangle of players at the end of a running play.”

Texans coach Gary Kubiak said after practice he had no further information on Watt’s condition.

Watt’s the fourth Texans starter to get hurt in the first week of camp.

Wide receiver Andre Johnson (groin), left tackle Duane Brown (lower leg) and cornerback Kareem Jackson (hamstring) have all missed time, but Kubiak said he expected all of them to be ready for the regular season opener.
