Overview
- Watt was listed as a limited participant Wednesday and worked only individual drills, skipping pass‑rush dummy work, according to reporters on site.
- Head coach Mike Tomlin said there was no update on Watt’s availability and that early‑week practices and medical evaluations will guide any decision for Sunday.
- The All‑Pro underwent surgery for a partially collapsed lung sustained during a dry‑needling treatment at the team facility earlier this month.
- Pittsburgh has won two straight without Watt and can clinch the AFC North this week with the right combination of results, including a win in Cleveland.
- Fellow edge rusher Nick Herbig also returned to practice as a limited participant, reflecting a cautious ramp‑up for the pass‑rush group.
