JJ Watt update?

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

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.

Three types of being:
-Injured
-NFL Injured
-JJ Watt Injured

The man played the entire second half of the Texans game with one arm and one shoulder. Crazy...

This is pleasantly shocking news. That said, if this is procedural then it was going to happen no matter what if they wanted him to have a chance at playing again this season. That ALSO said, they wouldn’t have done it if there wasn’t any chance of him playing. This is nuts. I hope he brings something more than emotional lifting because if he’s got any of “it” in him you know he’s going to give it all and that could be a tremendous difference maker against playoff teams.

What it sounds like is that he might be a few weeks away from playing and you have to activate him after a certain period of time.

I don’t think wild horses could drag him away from a first round playoff game.

If nothing else, this is an emotional jolt right before the playoffs.

If memory serves before the season started the Cards said they would limit Watt’s snaps, using him strategically. Instead he played a ton. Now will they use him strategically or let him play as often as he chooses? Left to his own devices, Watat would destroy himself to win.

Tried to send you a DM but for some reason I'm not allowed

Titans have no chance to catch the Packers.

I have lost our avatar bet.

The choice is now yours.
Please be gentle sir, you are my first

Just saw a news story saying he is designated to return and shooting for the Wildcard game to return.

AWESOME!!

 

[eastcoastSUN]

How awesome would it be if the team designates Watt to return from IR the Friday before our playoff game. Even if he didn't play on wildcard weekend this would get in the head a bit of the opponent and he would have 21 days to return to the active lineup.

Can you PM me next month's lotto numbers?

Once the game starts and they shoot him up pain won’t be an issue. We’ll know pretty quick if he’s strong enough to make an impact. It’s not like any of our rotational DT’s stand out in terms of being a massive liability right now.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Nice he will be a welcomed addition to def in gm 1 of poffs and motivated! Wb watt

 

[Mainstreet]

This should give the Cardinals a mental boost to have J.J. Watt eligible to return. I hope it all works out for him physically.

 

[AZman5103]

He can absolutely be a difference maker in the playoffs. I have no doubt.

If teams don't account for him he can wreck them...so at the very least he is going to command double teams his first game back or until he proves it's not needed.

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?

They have a 21 day window. He can practice anytime in the next 21 days & officially be added to the active roster. He won't play Sunday but will play in the 1st round of the playoffs.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Been saying it for some time now when others were saying "how effective can he be with one arm"? Very effective if he does nothing more than attract double teams & just bat down passes at the Los. Batting down passes are drive killers & can lead to int's. I'll take it.

Yeah but how effective will be fighting off OL with one arm to get into those passing lanes? I think its more of an inspiring the troops type of move unless his shoulder wasn't the train wreck reported.

Watt isn't going to play with "one arm". He isn't stupid and neither is the team.

 

[Shane]

Yea I don’t get the whole one arm thing… THey said he’s at the point where he can do nothing more in the weight room it was time to activate him… I can only imagine the amount of strength is showing in the weight room I doubt he’s going to be playing with “one arm” nor would he subject the team to that if he don’t think he can perform. Nor would they let him if he wasn’t showing the promise that he can.

Oh he messed it up good, labrum & rotator cuff plus a biceps injury. Doubt he would be trying to comeback if he only had one good arm? You could be right, just an inspiring type thing but I really think he's gonna be giving it a go next week. I listened to Keim on Burns & Gambo & he said that a person can't truly believe just how hard Watt works until they see it for themselves. I'm paraphrasing of course but it was along those lines. He's 6' 5" so he can block passing lanes rather easily. Even having Watt at 75% if that ends up being the case is better than our current DL at 100% other than maybe Jordan Phillips which is probably about 2-3 weeks away from coming back. Love Corey Peters & he still plays hard but he doesn't move side to side as well as he once did.

He attacks his rehab hard. According to one of the show's on 98.7 he was already doing light lifting just weeks after his surgery. Keim was raving today about just how hard he works. He wouldn't wanna come back if he just had one good arm so I feel exactly like you do in that regard.

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.

This article should tell you everything you need to know about him playing or not.

First, kudos to you for owning up to it. I hadn’t even remembered without your reminder. Second do I have to do anything or just provide you with an image (I’m oldish. But when it comes to technology I’m ancient).
