It looks like the Steelers are going to have to make it to the AFC Championship Game if we are going to see outside linebacker T.J. Watt on the field again this season.
Watt suffered a reported grade 2 MCL sprain after he collided with Steelers defensive tackle Montravius Adams during the win against Baltimore on Saturday.
NFL Networks’ Ian Rapoport says that it appears the injury will keep the likely candidate for NFL Defensive Player of the Year out at least two weeks and he would need to wear a brace during the AFC Championship, if and that’s a big if, the Steelers make it.
Watt’s brother J.J. gave an update on X (formally Twitter) on Sunday.
The good news is, it isn’t a long-term injury. The bad news is the injury happened when it did.
The Bills may be without one of their stars.
Wide receiver Gabe Davis reportedly suffered a PCL sprain.
Rapoport says his status is “TBD” for Sunday against the Steelers.
He has seven touchdowns this season with 45 catches for 746 yards. Rapoport calls him one of the most underrated wide receivers in the leage.
