Arizona Cardinals star J.J. Watt is likely done for the season.
According to Adam Schefter, Watt needs shoulder surgery, and it’s likely that the injury ends his 2021 season with the Cardinals. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Watt was hurt during the second quarter this past Sunday, but managed to finish the game.
Cardinals’ DE J.J. Watt will undergo what is now likely to be season-ending shoulder surgery, sources tell ESPN. No date set yet for surgery.

This is really unfortunate for Watt and the Cardinals. Right now, the Cardinals are 7-0 and have absolutely manhandled many of their opponents.
Through seven games, it’s hard to argue that there’s been a more impressive team in the NFL.
The #AZCardinals have listed J.J. Watt as out for Thursday night with a shoulder injury.

Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game in the NFL, and Watt now finds himself out for a substantial amount of time with a shoulder injury.
It’s just a brutal break for Watt, the team and all the fans. You hate to see stuff like this in the NFL, especially to a star player like Watt.

Hopefully, this doesn’t mark the end of Watt’s career and he’s able to get back to 100%. He’s a fun player to watch and as a Wisconsin man, I love watching him succeed.
