Steelers, T.J. Watt Evaluating Their Options
2 years agoPittsburgh Steelers star linebacker T.J. Watt (pectoral) is undergoing an MRI exam on Monday to determine the severity of a pectoral injury that he suffered late in the Week 1 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers fear that Watt tore his pectoral, but we may not know for sure until he seeks multiple opinions from doctors. If Watt needs surgery, it would be season-ending, but if he avoids going under the knife, there's a chance he could choose to rehab in hopes of returning in a couple weeks. Losing the reigning Defensive Player of the Year would be a huge blow to the Steelers defense, so stay tuned. The 27-year-old was a game-wrecker before getting injured on Sunday, recording a sack, six solo tackles (three for loss), an interception and a pass defensed.
