Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt has been diagnosed with a low-ankle injury following the team's recent loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that more details will be available after his Tuesday press conference. Watt sustained the injury late in the game while pressuring Eagles tackle Lane Johnson and did not return after being evaluated.
Despite the injury, Watt recorded two sacks, bringing his season total to 11.5. He expressed optimism after X-rays showed no fractures, but his availability for the upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens remains uncertain. Watt's presence is crucial for the Steelers' defense, especially given the injury struggles faced by other edge rushers this season.
