The Steelers’ defensive MVP candidate appeared to suffer the problem when he hit the ground after a jump and struck his teammate Montravius Adams.
Although the problem isn’t as serious as initially feared, T.J. most likely will be sidelined for the 1st round of the postseason as the franchise clinched its spot in the playoffs after the Titans defeated the Jaguars.
Rookie Nick Herbig and Markus Golden must replace T.J. Watt in the upcoming playoff clash.
