According to his tweet, Watt made the announcement to get forward of a media report about his medical process.
The 33-year-old defensive standout missed observe Wednesday and Thursday for what his staff listed as a leg harm, ESPN reported. A 6-foot-5, almost 290-pound tackling drive on the sphere, Watt, born Justin James Watt, was the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2012, 2014 and 2015.

The Columbia University Department of Medicine writes that Afib, often known as Atrial fibrillation, could make sufferers susceptible to blood clots and stokes.
“In a patient with a normal heart rhythm (sinus rhythm), an electrical signal spreads through the top chambers of the heart (the atria), causing them to squeeze and fill the lower chambers (the ventricles), which then pump the blood all over the body,” the varsity’s web site explains. “When a patient is diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib), the electrical signals become disorganized and the atria no longer contract effectively.”
Watt is the elder brother of 27-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers defensive star T.J. Watt, who suffered a torn pectoral in the beginning of the NFL season and is predicted to be out for the remainder of the month.
