JJ Watt update?

[Krangodnzr]

I'll hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Watt could give the team a real emotional boost going into the playoffs. The perfect story would be that he helps lift the team and carries them to an NFC Championship, and then Hopkins comes back for the Super Bowl and has 2 TDs in a Cardinal win.

(Not going to happen)

Turn down for Watt?!?!

I just hope the guy doesn’t destroy his shoulder from coming back way too soon.

As long as he does it in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl leading us to victory I’m cool with it and betting he would be too.

Even if it's just for emotional lift and to make other teams prepare, I love it! It says so much about his work ethic and dedication to the Cardinals.

1000X this!

Cardinals DL J.J. Watt designated to return from IR, plotting return for first round of playoffs

J.J. Watt is on the brink of another miraculous recovery. Sources say the Cardinals star is plotting a return to the playing field for the first round of the playoffs, far earlier than the Super Bowl return he was originally planning.

IF we play the Cowboys I wouldnt play Watt.

Play the Niners or Eagles? Maybe.

Standard ASFN post. Great news followed by standard Debbie Downer post.

i dont think he rehabbed this hard to sit out

 

[NashDishesDimes]

sketchy to me that ‘4-6/mo’ injury somehow becomes 2 months (surgery november 9th). I can see where a 4-6/mo recovery becomes 3.5 months with hard work and toughness but 2 months?

Im guessing part of the recovery time table is based on making sure its fulky healed so it doesnt alter their future career and im guessing JJ just doesnt care about the future of his career at this point…

Just think we can get by one more week if we play the Cowboys.

Imagine the emotional lift IF the Cardinals WIN the division somehow, JJ. comes back for the first home playoff game AND Larry Fitzgerald is the honorary team captain.

Does anybody know if the have to designate him to return before the end of the regular season, so he would be eligible for the playoffs?

That seems to imply that he needs to be activated before the end of the season to have any chance. If that is the case and we make it all the way to the SB, do we need to do the same with D-Hop so he has a chance to play?

People need to stop looking at average recovery times and realise these guys have access to the best drugs available and the NFL doesn't really even care.

Remember Ray Lewis coming back for the playoffs 2 months after suffering a major injury? Same situation.

Better meds, better doctors....

No the reason it's "procedural" is that he can't fully return to team activities while on IR. Once he is activated he can start testing out whether he is good to go.
