Overview

• Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt suffered a Grade 3 MCL sprain during the game against the Baltimore Ravens, potentially sidelining him for the playoffs.
• The injury occurred when Steelers defensive tackle Montravius Adams ran into Watt's planted left leg, causing his knee to bend in the wrong direction.
• Despite the injury, Watt wanted to return to the game, but the Steelers ruled him out during the second half.
• In Watt's absence, the Steelers turned to veteran Markus Golden and rookie Nick Herbig, who managed to perform well in the fourth quarter.
• Watt, who leads the NFL with 19 sacks, is a potential candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year Award.
