J.J. Watt shows off healthy back in victory in charity home run derby

HOUSTON -- J.J. Watt was excited about winning the home run derby portion of his charity softball game -- and finally beating punter Shane Lechler -- but it was even more exciting for the Houston Texans that he was out there at all.

Watt, who had two back surgeries in 2016, has said he has returned to his regular offseason training schedule. And on Saturday, before he took the field for the fifth-annual J.J. Watt Charity Classic, he said there was no concern about him swinging the bat.

"No, I feel fantastic," Watt said.
