J.J. Watt is still a long way from returning to the football field, but he is at least making positive progress.
The Houston Texans star posted a video on his SnapChat account with him taking his first steps on the treadmill since his surgery, captured by Andrew Joseph of USA Today:
Watt is recovering from a tibial plateau fracture that ended his season in Week 5.
While the 28-year-old has made appearances on the sidelines of Texans games and throwing out the first pitch at a Houston Astros game, he has needed crutches to move around.
