Texans' Watt 'starting fresh' as camp kicks off

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Shortly after Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt broke his leg in early October, he set a goal for himself: Start training camp healthy from Day 1.

On Thursday, he did just that, taking part in drills with "no restrictions" as the Texans began training camp at The Greenbrier.

"I think I'm starting in a really good place this year," Watt said. "It feels like I'm starting a regular training camp. I feel like I'm starting fresh. When I started the rehab process, I wanted to earn a fresh start, earn a chance to go out there, start a training camp from Day 1 [and] go out there and play.
