According to Schefter, there’s no date scheduled at this time for surgery.

Watt reportedly suffered the injury during the second quarter of Sunday’s game, but somehow still managed to finish the contest.

The 32-year-old was in the final year of his eight-year, $108.88 million contract that includes $51.8 million guaranteed when he was released by the Texans. The Cardinals signed him to a two-year deal worth $31 million this past March.
