The star defender joins his teammates for the playoffs.
Arizona will recover a big presence to face Los Angeles. The Cardinals had prepared for the return of JJ Watt by freeing up a place in their workforce. The club made the news official by activating the defensive end in the first squad.
Watt suffered a shoulder injury in Week 7 against the Texans. He remained on the reserve list for more than two months and only joined training last week. At first “very limited” for his recovery, he therefore found a sufficient level to participate in the playoffs.
The confrontation against the Rams will be their ninth playoff game, but their first with the Arizona team.
