Cardinals activate J.J. Watt from PUP list

The Arizona Cardinals activated defensive end J.J. Watt and linebacker Dennis Gardeck from the physically unable to perform list Monday.

Watt had been on the PUP list since before training camp with a hamstring issue. The Cardinals signed Watt to a two-year deal in March after he asked for and received his release from the Houston Texans in February.

Gardeck, 27, is returning from an ACL tear suffered late last season.
