Texans coach Bill O'Brien said today, "I can definitely see" defensive end J.J Watt playing in the regular season opener against Chicago.
"J.J. is progressing well," he said "He's made a lot of progress the last couple of weeks. He's on the right track. We feel good bout where he is right now."
Watt, who has been recovering from surgery to clean out a herniated disk in his back, tweeted last week he would return "soon."
