The Arizona Cardinals announced defensive end J.J. Watt was activated from injured reserve and moved to the active roster ahead of Monday's Wild Card Round playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Watt appeared in just seven games during the 2021 regular season because of a shoulder injury, though Arizona designated him to return from injured reserve heading into the playoffs.
Though he surely wasn't looking for this type of season to be his first with a team outside the Houston Texans, there is no questioning Watt's status as one of the best players of his generation when he is healthy and on the field.
