HOUSTON -- Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien said after seeing the work defensive end J.J. Watt has put in while recovering from back surgery that he’s “sure that he is ahead of schedule.”
O’Brien said he does not have a timetable for Watt’s progress during the offseason.
“I can tell you he’s doing well,” O’Brien said. “He’s in there working very hard to get better. He’s been in there every day. You can see him out on the field running, you can see him doing different things in the weight room.
“So to no one’s surprise, I’m sure that he is ahead of schedule.
