Steelers' T.J. Watt Suffers Grade 3 MCL Sprain, Playoff Availability Uncertain

Despite the injury, Watt, who leads the NFL with 19 sacks, wanted to return to the game but was ruled out by the Steelers.

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.
