2 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers officially placed linebacker T.J. Watt (pectoral) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and signed outside linebacker David Anenih to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Anenih was on the Tennessee Titans practice squad before joining the Steelers. Watt and the Steelers initially believed he suffered a season-ending torn pectoral muscle in the Week 1 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but after receiving multiple medical opinions, it was determined he could avoid surgery and return later this year. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues need to keep the 27-year-old reigning Defensive Player of the Year stashed. Watt will miss at least the next four games, but he's expected to need around six weeks to recover from a partially torn left pec.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
