The injury bug has bitten the Houston Texans pretty hard this season, but things are beginning to look up. Injuries to defensive end J.J. Watt and quarterback DeShaun Watson have derailed this season for the 4-7 Texans. But moving forward to 2018, Watt took a big step forward Tuesday. Literally. The four-time Pro-Bowler posted a video of him taking his first steps on a treadmill since the injury. He shared the video in an Instagram story.

The high esteem J.J. Watt’s peers have for him is puzzling. The Houston Texans defensive end is ranked 35th on the NFL Network’s “Top 100” players list in 2017.

However, He was No. 3 on the 2016 Top 100 and No. 1 in 2015. The players whose votes determine “Top 100” rankings obviously didn’t forget the impact Watt can make on the field. Even if his previous standings seem to have slipped his mind.
