On Tuesday, Houston Texans’ star defensive lineman J.J. Watt posted a video on Instagram of himself walking for the first time since suffering a tibial plateau fracture in his left leg against the Kansas City Chiefs back in week five of this season.
Andrew Joseph of USA TODAY Sports posted the video on Twitter.
For the first five years of his NFL career, Watt didn’t miss a single game. Then in 2016 he only played in three games and ended up on season-ending injured reserve with a back injury.
The hope was that Watt would rebound in 2017 and show the world that he can still dominate.
