T.J. Watt injury update and practice reports
T.J. Watt, Pro Bowl linebacker, missed three games after suffering a lung injury while recovering from an emergency surgery.
Watt has expressed his will to play in the season finale against the Baltimore Ravens. He said via Brooke Pryor, “I feel really good. Not sure that I could’ve said that a week ago. … I’m excited to play.”
Ian Rapaport, an NFL insider, also provided an update on his condition before this crucial game on Friday morning.
Rapaport said, “There was some optimism earlier in the week, and to my knowledge, nothing has waned. The only concerning thing for the Pittsburgh Steelers and TJ Watt is he has not been a full participant yet in practice. If he is not a full participant (Friday) then you really do wonder is he going to be out there for a ‘win-and-in’ game for the Steelers.”
Watt has been a star player for the Steelers ‘ defense game.
