JJ Watt Rules Out Return to NFL

Following a severe leg injury to Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, fans have been urging former NFL star JJ Watt to come out of retirement to help fill the gap. Watt acknowledged the requests in a post on X, humorously noting he’s heard from fans 'once or twice' but made it clear he has no intention of returning to the NFL. He expressed his support for Hutchinson and the Lions, emphasizing his enjoyment of retirement life with his family. Despite being only 35 and in good shape, Watt remains committed to his current role as a CBS analyst and is not considering a comeback. He previously hinted at being open to a return only for the Houston Texans if absolutely necessary, but that possibility seems unlikely now. The Lions will need to seek other options to replace Hutchinson's contributions this season.
