Is T.J. Watt playing today? Injury updates for Steelers EDGE

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt is dealing with an ankle injury. Here’s the latest update.

The Pittsburgh Steelers won’t be down a starting edge rusher, as T.J. Watt (ankle) is not listed among the sidelined for their Week 16 brawl with the Baltimore Ravens.

Hearts of Steelers fans everywhere dropped when Watt was injured toward the end of their embarrassing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Thankfully, the injury wasn’t as bad as it initially appeared. Watt was limited at practice early in the week but was a full participant on Thursday.

Watt is on pace for a career-high in forced fumbles. He’s also logged three passes defended, two fumbles recovered, 11.5 sacks, 54 tackles and 27 quarterback hits on the season.

The Steelers will have to do without star receiver George Pickens (hamstring), quarterback Justin Fields (abdominal) and safety DeShon Elliott (hamstring) on Saturday. Both cornerback Donte Jackson (back) and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin) are questionable.

Steelers get great news on T.J. Watt injury

T.J. Watt has been dealing with an ankle injury all week.

With the Pittsburgh Steelers playing the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, the game status report came out a day early. There was plenty of bad news on the report but at least one piece of good news. Injured outside linebacker T.J. Watt, who had been limited all week with an ankle injury had no injury designation.

Pittsburgh needs all the help they can get on defense. Starting safety DeShon Elliott is listed as doubtful, cornerback Donte Jackson is questionable as is defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi.

If the Steelers can beat the Ravens on the road, they would clinch the AFC North. The Steelers secured a spot in the playoffs last week despite losing to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Steelers will follow up Saturday’s showdown with the Ravens with a Christmas Day home game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

T.J. Watt keeps everyone in the dark with 3 simple words about his status this week

The Steelers need T.J. Watt to be ready to go against the Ravens.

After suffering an injury in last week’s game, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt has been limited at practice all week. The Steelers are preparing to take on the Baltimore Ravens this week in their biggest game of the season but Watt is keeping everyone in the dark about if he is playing or not.

Watt simply said “We will see” when asked if he was going to play. This doesn’t exactly inspire confidence for this week’s game. Given the gravity of this game, we’d be shocked if Watt didn’t at least try to play. If he’s no 100 percent, the Steelers could start Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig and let Watt work in as a pass-rush specialist and keep him on a pitch count.

 

T.J. Watt injury updates: Latest news for Steelers edge rusher

Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt says we’ll have to wait and see when asked about playing against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday

After the Ravens (9-5) covered the spread against the Giants on Sunday, Baltimore will now turn their attention towards the Pittsburgh Steelers and All-Pro linebacker, T.J. Watt.

Watt was forced to exit the Steelers 27-13 loss to the Eagles on Sunday after suffering an ankle injury while rushing the passer.  Watt, who leads the Steelers with 11½ sacks, was checked out in the medical tent and did not return.

After the game, Watt said he was in “wait-and-see” mode for that game. The 30-year-old former defensive player of the year came away with a rolled ankle that he didn’t think was a serious injury.

On Thursday, Watt had this to say about playing on Saturday afternoon.

“We’ll see on Sunday — or Saturday, I guess I should say — but I felt pretty good this week. Obviously it’s a short week, but felt pretty good.”

The Steelers (10-4) clinched a playoff berth thanks to losses by Indianapolis and Miami.

The Ravens trail their division rivals by one game, and the teams play Saturday, with a win in Baltimore all but wrapping up the AFC North.

After facing the Ravens, the Steelers host Kansas City and finish the season at home against Cincinnati.

Ravens vs. Steelers injury report: Latest updates, news for Week 16

We’re looking at the Wednesday injury report for the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers

The Ravens released their Wednesday injury report, and wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) and linebacker Odafe Oweh (ankle) were added after being limited in practice.

Baltimore running back Justice Hill missed practice for personal reasons, while defensive back Ar’Darius Washington and right guard Daniel Faalele were listed as limited for the second straight practice.

For Pittsburgh, star pass rusher T.J. Watt (ankle) was upgraded to a limited participant today.

George Pickens (hamstring), DeShon Elliott (hamstring), Justin Fields (abdominal), and Donte Jackson (back) all didn’t practice.

Larry Ogunjobi was limited for the second straight day.

Steelers welcome 2 injured starters back to practice on Tuesday

Larry Ogunjobi, DeShon Elliott and George Pickens all missed Sunday’s game vs the Philadelphia Eagles.

Injuries played a significant factor in the Pittsburgh Steelers loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday. The Steelers were minus wide receiver George Pickens, defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi and safety DeShon Elliott and all three were seriously missed.

But the good news is the Steelers got two of them back to practice on Tuesday. Sort of. Ogunjobi returned to practice on a limited basis and while Pickens was listed as DNP, he did go some individual drills with the team. Unfortunately, Elliott remained out.

The Steelers have an opportunity to clinch the AFC North with a win over the Baltimore Ravens this weekend so getting those three back will be significant. Pittsburgh is also hoping the injuries suffered by outside linebacker T.J. Watt and quarterback Justin Fields in last week’s game won’t keep them out even though both missed Tuesday’s practice as well.
