The injury bug has bitten the Houston Texans pretty hard this season, but things are beginning to look up.
Injuries to defensive end J.J. Watt and quarterback DeShaun Watson have derailed this season for the 4-7 Texans. But moving forward to 2018, Watt took a huge step forward Tuesday.
Literally.
The four-time Pro-Bowler posted a video of him taking his first steps on a treadmill since the injury. He shared the video in an Instagram story.

While there’s obviously no chance Watt returns this season, to see him rehabbing and moving around — even if just a little bit — must be encouraging to the Texans, especially given how devastating the injury to his leg was.
