Watt passes physical, will return to practice Monday (Yahoo Sports)

J.J. Watt passed his physical on Sunday and will return to practice on Monday, a good sign that he'll be ready for Houston's opener against Chicago on Sept. 11. Watt missed all of training camp and the Texans' four preseason games after surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back in July. Watt, the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in three of the past four seasons, hasn't missed a game in his five-year career.
