T.J. Watt Cleared to Play in AFC North Decider vs. Ravens After Lung Surgery

The Steelers edge rusher practiced fully Friday with no game designation after a rare dry needling complication required surgery in December.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh’s final injury report lists T.J. Watt as a full participant with no game status, part of a largely clean sheet for the Steelers.
  • Watt said he feels good and is excited to play, calling the dry needling mishap at the team facility a fluke and noting he will pause that treatment.
  • Coaches and Watt have not set a snap count, with usage to be determined on game day.
  • Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson said he will play, while cornerback Marlon Humphrey and receiver Rashod Bateman are questionable with illnesses.
  • The winner on Sunday night clinches the AFC North and a playoff berth, and the loser is eliminated.
