Cardinals defensive end JJ Watt revealed that he underwent treatment for a heart condition on Wednesday ahead of the team’s matchup against the Panthers on Sunday.
The 33-year-old was listed as questionable ahead of last Sunday’s game against the Rams due to a calf injury and illness, the Cardinals’ injury report noted. He ended up playing in the game, though.
The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year addressed the heart treatment on Twitter before an unknown media outlet was set to release the news, Watt said.
“I was just told somebody leaked some personal information about me, and it’s going to be reported on today,” Watt posted on Twitter.
