The long-awaited return of OLB T.J. Watt back to the field is now over.
After injuring his pec in Week 1 at Cincinnati, many feared that Watt could be lost for the season before it really began. However, Watt appeared to dodge a bullet and was able to rehab the pec injury while IR without having to undergo season-ending surgery. After nearly eight weeks off, Watt has confirmed the team that he’ll be activated in-time to suit up this Sunday at home against the New Orleans Saints.
Speaking with the media Friday after practice, Watt gave his feelings about his return to the field and what it personally means for himself as well as what he hopes it means for his fellow teammates.
