JJ Watt possibly out for the season

[Shane]

Keim supposed to be on 98.7 at 3 to give a jj watt update just FYI

Basically stated that they are hoping that he can strengthen and possibly avoid surgery or going on IR.

Also said that when he was in Houston yesterday for a second opinion. If it was bad he was gonna have surgery while there…. Well he’s back in the valley already? Sooo….take from it what you will..

Apparently JJ went to see a specialist in Houston yesterday.

If the shoulder was bad he was due to have surgery there and then. He didn't and he's back in AZ. So seems the intention is to play through it.

Thanks for updating my update

I think he just injected superglue into his shoulder and said, “okay, all good. Let’s go.”

Ha ha oh yeah sorry!

Ha ha oh yeah sorry!

To be fair, yours was a pretty good Shane to English translation.

He’s going to take a shot of pain medicine in that shoulder every half and soldier on. Then it’s going to fall off during the offseason

if it gets us and him a Super Bowl, it will be worth it.

didn't Adrian Wilson once play with a torn labrum all season? happened in training camp but he played with it?

 

[Crimson Warrior]

A very unexpected turn of events!

So how should Vance coach around it? Would it be better to no longer play him inside? He did well when Chandler was gone. If he indeed wants to play through it then just no more diving tackles.

Bicep.

 

[GatorAZ]

At this point it sounds like he’s aiming for a comeback but I’d be shocked if he’s effective using one arm. I do think his leadership is more impactful if he’s in pads/active.

Ehhhh. The last time I can remember a Cardinal knowingly sacrificing their future when they needed surgery was Beanie who’s career was ended by it and he still gets **** on. I hope this is different.

 

[Mainstreet]

I will take this news as encouraging and hope for the best.

The Cardinals can use a boost and having Watt in uniform would help.

He got **** on because Beanie could get tackled by a hand towel.

Or a blade of grass.

It’s going to fall off when he’s handed the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Geno Atkins did it last year too. Tore it in camp. Played with it (albeit limited snaps) then went on IR in December when their season was over. Depends how bad it is I guess.

For one I'm guessing more limited snaps. Somewhere in the 50-60% range rather than the 75% he's been playing. And there will be games where we will be up enough in the 2nd half where they barely use him.

And I'm guessing they only use him until playoffs are assured then sit him until the playoffs.

Will he be the same though? Maybe he plays but can he play to the same level?

He was **** in because he literally tripped over his own feet ALL THE DAMN TIME. More then any RB I’ve ever seen EVER. Lol

Well, maybe bone-on-bone where cartilage should have been contributed.
