Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt is immersed in a long, grueling rehabilitation from a broken leg, and he's determined to regain his old health and Pro Bowl form.
Watt is optimistic about his outlook and expressed confidence that he'll be ready in time for next season.
"I'll be back next season," Watt said. "This is an injury once it's done it's done. There will be no problem once I'm back and healthy."
The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year recently resumed walking and is also riding a stationary bike and doing some light leg pressing.
