J.J. Watt News
Retired defensive lineman J.J. Watt said that he's not interested in joining the Houston Texans' coaching staff under new head coach DeMeco Ryans, whom Watt spent the 2011 season with as a player in Houston. Watt retired after the 2022 season after 10 years with the Texans and two for the Arizona Cardinals, leaving speculation that he might rejoin the Texans as a coach. "[If Ryans asks], I'll pop in and talk to the boys, and I'll watch practice, and I'll talk to them, but no, I have no interest in the hours and the time commitment and going to the Combine and going to the Senior Bowl and doing all these things," Watt said. "I do not have interest in that." Watt was a five-time All-Pro and Pro Bowler and finished an illustrious career with 101 of his 114.5 career sacks coming with the Texans from 2011-2020.
Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt announced on his Twitter account on Tuesday that the 2022 season will be his last in the NFL. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year will finish his career on the road against the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers. He has 111.5 career sacks since entering the league in 2011, including 9.5 this year with the Cardinals. Watt is one of three players in NFL history to win Defensive Player of the Year three times, joining Lawrence Taylor and Aaron Donald. All three of those awards for Watt came while playing for the Houston Texans, who drafted him 11th overall in 2011. He has four seasons with 15 sacks, the second-most by any player since sacks began to be tracked in 1982, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf, heart) is officially active for Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. On Sunday morning, Watt personally announced that he went into atrial fibrillation this past Wednesday, had his heart "shocked back into rhythm" on Thursday, and will play this week. The 33-year-old has amassed three tackles and two sacks through two games this season.
