Both starting outside linebackers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith both left Thursday night's game with injuries, but according to different reports, there is a good chance that both could be back in 10 days when the Steelers host the Tennessee Titans.
Watt was ruled out from returning after suffering another groin injury. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it is believed that he tweaked his groin.
"With extra time before they return to the field against the Titans on Dec. 19, Watt has a chance to be ready to go," said Rapoport.
Highsmith's father Sam Highsmith said early Friday morning that "Alex will be fine. Just a bad bruise!" after suffering an injury above his knee.
Another tough one! At least Big Ben made it interesting in the 2nd half. Thanks to all of you who have reached out. Alex will be fine. Just a bad bruise! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/ftC5RBGPtB

With the only four games left in the season and a playoff appearance still possible, they'll need Watt and Highsmith if they want at least a chance at winning three of the next four.
