Rams CB Jaylen Watson shares message for fans after shoulder surgery
Jaylen Watson underwent successful shoulder surgery after trying "every single possible" thing to keep playing through the injury.
The Los Angeles Rams announced on November 12, 2026 that cornerback Jaylen Watson will miss the 2026 season after undergoing shoulder surgery. The two-time Super Bowl winner was expected to become a star and was a vital part of the Rams' secondary throughout the current season. Watson attempted to continue playing despite his shoulder injury, but it became evident that the risk of further damage was too high, necessitating surgery.
The procedure was successful, and Watson is now on the road to recovery. He expressed his gratitude for the fans' support and stated that he had tried every possible means to finish the season. However, he ultimately decided that it was not in his best interest. Head coach Sean McVay stated that Watson was an exceptional player who had been instrumental in revamping the Rams' secondary.
Despite the setback, McVay expressed confidence that Watson will return stronger than ever next season.
