JJ Watt opened up about his whirlwind week after playing in the Cardinals’ win over the Panthers on Sunday, just three days after he had his “heart shocked back into rhythm.”
Hours before Sunday’s game, Watt revealed on Twitter that he experienced atrial fibrillation — an irregular heartbeat — on Wednesday, also mentioning he was told “somebody leaked personal information” about him. Moments after the Twitter reveal, Jay Glazer reported Watt’s treatment on “Fox NFL Sunday.”
“Obviously, it’s been a very emotional week for my family, for my wife, for myself,” said Watt, who at one point held back tears while speaking to reporters. “So, I’m very happy to get a win today. Obviously, I’ve had a lot of emotions, but I’ve learned to appreciate the little things even more, and so it’s nice to have a win today.”YouTube/Arizona Cardinals
The 33-year-old said he was “upset” about the news leaking because “the only people that knew were people I should trust,” which included his family and some within the Cardinals organization.his pregnant wife, Kealia Ohai , was by his side; their baby boy is due in “a few weeks.” He considered not playing Sunday but was told he could.
“I talked to cardiologists and electrophysiologists from all over the country,” Watt said. “I was assured multiple times from multiple people that there was nothing else you could do. I could play like normal and something could happen the next day or never again in 20 years. So I was assured and I went back to practice on Friday and here we are.”
