The Arizona Cardinals were already going to be without star defensive end J.J. Watt for tomorrow’s game against the Green Bay Packers, and now it looks like it will be for much longer.
According to a report released from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Watt will be undergoing shoulder surgery, which may keep him on the shelf for the remainder of the 2021 NFL season.
