On Monday, the Arizona Cardinals not only activated defensive lineman J.J. Watt from the Physically Unable to Perform list but outside linebacker Dennis Gardeck as well.
Watt was recovering from a hamstring injury since late July which landed him on the list. The Cardinals have been playing it safe with him as their top free agent signing this offseason. Gardeck has been on PUP since July 22 as he was rehabbing from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 15 of last season.
With Watt healthy and an early return from Gardeck, the Cardinals will have most of their top talent on the defense available in the regular season opener versus the Titans.
