Coming off two back surgeries that limited him to just three games last season, Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is optimistic about where he's at physically.
Speaking to reporters at Texans minicamp Wednesday, Watt said he has had no lingering issues with his back to this point.
"I'm very happy with the way it's responded," he said, per Texans TV's Drew Dougherty. "It feels great."
Watt is also champing at the bit to get back on the field to sack opposing quarterbacks—like he did so well from 2011-15.
"I can't wait to hit people," he said, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.
