Arizona Cardinals five-time Pro Bowl defensive end J.J. Watt, who underwent shoulder surgery earlier this season, was officially activated off injured reserve and will play in Monday night's wild-card page game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Watt returned to practice last Thursday for the first time since his October injury.
Watt said he dislocated his shoulder "out the back" and injured his rotator cuff, labrum, capsule and infraspinatus, in addition to dislocating his biceps tendon.
After having surgery to repair the shoulder on Nov. 3, Watt was given a four-to-six-month window for a return.
