Cardinals Make Official Decision on J.J. Watt Ahead of Game vs. Rams

The Cardinals activated defensive end J.J. Watt off injured reserve on Monday night ahead of Arizona's matchup against the Rams in the wild-card round.

Watt, 32, returned to Arizona practice last week as he completed rehab from a torn labrum, bicep, rotator cuff and separated shoulder. Watt underwent surgery in late October, but he is already back on the field as Arizona seeks a playoff win over its NFC West rival.

Watt teased his return on Monday morning in a video released on his Twitter account.

Arizona will be adding a major piece to its front seven if Watt is even remotely healthy on Monday night.
