J.J. Watt accepts The Rock's 22 push-up challenge

Texans defensive end J.J. Watt said his back is "fine" in a video where he completed 22 push-ups as part of the #22PushupChallenge to raise "awareness for those who fight for our freedom and the aftermath of that fight."

Watt was challenged by The Rock on Monday evening. According to #22Kill, the group who began the project, an average of 22 veterans commit suicide every day. The goal of the challenge is "to honor those who serve and to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention through education and empowerment."
