J.J. Watt reached a milestone in his recovery Thursday.

The Houston Texans' defensive end shared a video of him running on the treadmill for the first time since suffering a tibial plateau fracture last October.

Since his surgery, Watt has posted updates on his recovery milestones to social media, including a video of him and quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is also recovering from a season-ending injury, at the Texans’ facility.
