TJ Watt Injury Update: Steelers Star Defender to Miss Six Weeks
Steelers Place TJ Watt on Injured Reserve
The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed TJ Watt on injured reserve, the team announced Thursday. The edge rusher is likely out for the next six weeks or so as he rehabs his torn pectoral.
Watt Injured in Week 1 Victory
Watt suffered the injury in the Steelers' Week 1 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He had two sacks to raise his season total to an NFL-leading 19 before he went down in the third quarter with a knee injury after his leg collided with the leg of teammate Montravius Adams.
Watt a Key Defensive Player for Steelers
Watt was one of the best defensive players in the NFL again this season, and his absence will be a major blow to the Steelers' defense. He is one of the most feared pass rushers in the league, and his ability to create pressure on the quarterback will be missed.
Steelers Hope to Have Watt Back for Playoffs
The Steelers are hoping to have Watt back for the playoffs, but his status is uncertain. He will need to rehab his injury and get back into game shape before he can return to the field.
