On Wednesday night, harrowing news came out that JJ. Watt might undergo what is now likely to be season-ending shoulder surgery. Watt reportedly suffered the injury during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans, but still managed to finish out the contest.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network added that Watt tore his bicep, labrum, and rotator cuff in last Sunday’s win over the Texans. During the Cardinals’ Week 7 win against his former team, the Houston Texans, Watt suffered a dislocated shoulder and other associated damage while attempting to tackle Davis Mills in the second quarter.
Watt also reportedly dislocated his shoulder.
The defensive end played the second half despite the shoulder injury.
Watt’s surgery is likely to require at least three months of recovery, Rapoport reported, and will end his 2021 regular season.
Watt, a three-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, has 16 tackles, a sack and 10 quarterback hits in seven starts with Arizona this season.
