J.J. Watt Trending Toward Playing Monday
3 years agoArizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (shoulder) had no issues after returning to practice on Thursday and is trending toward playing in Monday night's wild-card game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Watt's practice on Thursday was his first since suffering a shoulder injury that required surgery in late October, so even if he's active to close out super wild-card weekend, there's a good chance that he'll have his snaps limited against the Rams. "From a performance standpoint, I'm not gonna put myself on the field if it's gonna put my team in a worse situation," Watt said of the potential of playing against the Rams. "That's not even a question." He's trying to return from a torn rotator cuff, labrum, capsule and infraspinatus.
