Arizona Cardinals star J.J. Watt has made a shocking return to the team after initially being ruled out for the rest of the season due to numerous shoulder injuries. While Kliff Kingsbury hasn't fully committed to his star pass rusher suiting up for Wild Card Weekend, there is certainly a good chance he plays if all goes well at practice this week.
On Wednesday, Watt talked to the media who were understandably curious if he'll take the field on Monday night. However, the Cardinals standout couldn't help but roast one reporter who made a huge mistake when asking his question:

Honest mistake, I suppose. A lot of the Wild Card action is on Sunday, but the Cardinals and Rams will highlight Monday's slate. Kingsbury revealed recently that Watt has been fighting tooth and nail at getting back to full strength. We know just how hard of a worker he is and it's been very evident in his rehab. To be able to actually play again this season after several notable injuries speaks to the toughness of the three-time Defensive Player of the Year.
If Watt does play against the Los Angeles Rams, it's going to be a massive boost for the Cardinals. If they're able to pull through, Arizona will face the winner of the Cowboys vs 49ers.
