Quick search says 48-72 hour rest time before resuming normal activities usually, glad he’s ok…

Rather not Watt risk his career & potentially his life, especially for a garbage organization.
Says a lot if a person finds this commendable.

Everything I’ve read says shouldn’t be an issues. Actually more common then you’d think for athletes.

So was Tua!?! But if Watt is comfortable, then it's up to him.
Not really the same…

Interesting! The heart scares me, so I'm obviously a little biased.
I wonder who leaked it…. Obviously someone in organization

You're right, you don't need a brain to be considered alive, but you do a heart!
Totally kidding

I hate these type of leaks. It's lame.
My oldest son is 27 and has a fib.. can pop up here and there randomly without notice. He has some pill I can’t recall the name of he has to take and it stops it within 20-30 minutes…. The doctors he’s seen all seem to have no real concerns over it. He has a high stress job and thy all told him to just live his life normally.

These recommendations are for normal people. not for people who gets thrown around by 300 pound OL while hitting with the force of a mini car.
We don't have to be Romans cheering for gladiators when it is especially just a game for entertainment purposes.
Just stop…. Lol smh

I hope your son has a mild variety.
But there are a variety of causes and we really don't know what is causing Watt's a fib.
What Is Atrial Fibrillation? AFib Causes and Symptoms | MyHeartDiseaseTeam
Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition in which the heart’s upper chambers (atria) beat irregularly and out of sync with its lower chambers.Atrial fibril
If they haven't ruled out coronary heart disease, he may need an echo stress test and maybe even an angiogram to see if he has any blockages. The echo is pretty easy, but the angio is a full day deal since they scope your heart and you have recover. Of course, he may have already had those done. So it's hard to say weather he is being reckless or not.

I know you don’t care about these dudes’ health off the field, but we do. Sad, but not surprising, that shakes your head.

Possibly but being Watt is likely getting the best medical care money can buy. They could have done a calcium score test and got some results almost immediately. If he’s cleared he’s cleared.
I care 100% but you guys are really over the top. Lol

Could be. I just don't know what the NFL health protocols are and am skeptical about their recommendations in this multi million dollar business.
For me it boils down to JJ he’s been cleared to play medically. JJ has made the decision to play he’s a grown man who is clearly personally comfortable with his decision based off what he’s been told medically. Heck this might not even be the first time he’s been in Afib…. All the coooing around here by fans is really just pointless. He’s playing.
