Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that JJ Watt reacts to leaked statement of his medical report concerning his heart. (Read More Here).
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.
Watt experienced dizziness after practice Wednesday, Cardinals sources told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Watt visited a doctor, who then sent him to a cardiologist. Watt underwent a cardioversion procedure, which corrects an abnormally fast heart rate or cardiac arrhythmia. Watt was checked by multiple cardiologists after the procedure. He was cleared to practice on Friday and is set to play today against Carolina.
He said he tweeted the information because the news of his heart condition and the procedure was leaked.
Watt missed practice Wednesday and Thursday for what the Cardinals listed as "calf/illness" on their injury report.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, atrial fibrillation is "an irregular heart rhythm that begins in your heart's upper chambers."
