19 Dec, 2025
Summary
- T.J. Watt's return date is uncertain, likely missing the Lions game.
- He is recovering from surgery for a partially collapsed lung.
- Rookie Jack Sawyer may make his first start in Watt's absence.
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt is nearing a potential return following a recent injury. A respected insider indicates that Watt is unlikely to participate in the upcoming Week 16 matchup against the Detroit Lions.
Watt is recovering from surgery to address a partially collapsed lung. This setback has caused him to miss consecutive practices, and it is projected to be his second missed game since the incident. The hope is for his return in the subsequent week.
With Watt sidelined, and fellow OLB Nick Herbig also dealing with an injury, rookie Jack Sawyer is a candidate to make his debut start for the Steelers in the game against the Lions.
