Steelers' Watt Suffers Knee Injury, Future Uncertain
Pittsburgh's Star Edge Rusher Faces Postseason Doubts
BALTIMORE (AP) - January 6, 2024
The Pittsburgh Steelers' regular season concluded on Saturday with a mix of concern and relief. While the team secured a playoff berth, they faced a significant setback with the injury to standout edge rusher T.J. Watt.
Watt sustained a knee injury during the Steelers' victory in Week 17, putting his availability for the postseason in jeopardy. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Watt suffered a partially torn MCL. The severity of the injury and the timeframe for his return remain unknown.
Watt has been a cornerstone of the Steelers' defense, earning three All-Pro selections and leading the NFL in sacks in 2021. His absence would be a major blow to a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
The Steelers will await further updates on Watt's injury status. They will face the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card Round on Sunday, January 14, with Watt's availability uncertain.
Stay tuned for the latest updates on T.J. Watt's injury as they become available.
