The Houston Texans lost two of their very best players to season-ending injuries in 2017. But the good news is both defensive end J.J. Watt and quarterback Deshaun Watson were see working out together.

Watt posted this video of he and Watson looking quite able-bodied here. The All-Pro defensive end played in only five games in 2017 before suffering a season-ending tibial plateau fracture in his left leg.
Then, just a few games later, Watson’s magnificent rookie season ended abruptly after he tore his ACL.
Needless to say, the Texans had a rough go of it in 2017. The team finished at the bottom of its division with only four wins. But focusing on the positive, it is awesome to see Watt and Watson both on the mend and keeping spirits up by working out together.
Watt is currently on course to participate in training camp, which is awesome news.
J.J. Watt said he's on track for training camp said his leg feels good and making ton of progress expects to start running soon

And, Watson is reportedly ahead of schedule and could take part in the Texans OTAs, according to the team’s official website.
