Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said J.J. Watt has "certainly made progress" in his attempt to return to the field in 2019, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Watt tore his pectoral muscle against the Raiders on Oct. 27. He tweeted that he was out for the year following the injury, but Watt continues to make strides in his rehab as the Texans eye a playoff run in January.
"He's certainly made progress based on his work ethic and who he's working with in the training room," O'Brien said on Monday, per Rapoport.
