Steelers' T.J. Watt Questionable for AFC North Clash Against Ravens

Head coach Mike Tomlin remains optimistic about Watt's availability despite a recent ankle injury sustained in a loss to the Eagles.

  • T.J. Watt suffered a low ankle injury late in the Steelers' Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles but is walking comfortably, according to coach Mike Tomlin.
  • X-rays on Watt's ankle were negative, and the linebacker described the injury as a rolled ankle, leaving his status for Saturday's game in Baltimore uncertain.
  • The Steelers can secure the AFC North title with a win over the Ravens in Week 16, adding significance to Watt's potential availability.
  • Pittsburgh's edge-rushing depth, including Alex Highsmith and recent trade acquisition Preston Smith, could be leaned on if Watt is limited or unavailable.
  • Other injured Steelers players, including George Pickens, DeShon Elliott, and Larry Ogunjobi, are also being monitored for potential returns in Week 16.
