Watt finished Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys with eight tackles (seven solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one forced fumble. With the Cowboys in the red zone, Watt and Nick Herbig combined to sack Dak Prescott on the last play of the first quarter, with Watt forcing the ball out of Prescott's hands, which was jumped on by Herbig. Watt got to Prescott for a second time early in the third quarter, resulting in a seven-yard loss. Watt is now up to 4.5 sacks through the first five games of the regular season, which is ninth-most in the NFL.

Watt recorded three tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sack, during the Steelers' 20-10 win Sunday versus the Chargers. Watt brought down Justin Herbert for one of the team's five sacks and now has three total on the season. The one-time Defensive Player of the Year will look to build off this strong performance and increase his sack streak next week against the Colts.

Watt tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended during the Steelers' 13-6 win over the Broncos. Watt has logged sacks in back-to-back games to start the 2024 season. He got to Bo Nix on an eight-yard sack late in the second quarter, and the Broncos turned the ball over on downs two plays later. Watt led the league with 19.0 sacks last season, and he'll look add to his total in Week 3 against the Chargers.

Watt recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, while also recovering a fumble during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons. Watt was a handful for the Falcons' offensive line, as he logged three quarterback pressures despite recording only 1.0 sack. The 2017 first-round pick out of Wisconsin is looking to build on a dominant 2023 campaign in which he recorded 68 total tackles, including 19.0 sacks, and eight passes defended in 17 regular-season games. Expect Watt to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the Steelers travel to Denver in Week 2.

Watt is believed to have suffered a Grade 3 MCL sprain after exiting Saturday's 17-10 win in Baltimore with a left knee injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Watt departed in the third quarter after banging knees with Steelers defensive lineman Montravius Adams. He was able to make his way to the locker room slowly under his own power, but the team still ruled out Watt not long after that point. After notching two sacks Saturday, Watt will finish with 19 on the season to go along with 68 tackles, eight pass breakups, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one interception over 17 games. Watt is scheduled to undergo further testing to confirm the Grade 3 sprain, but injuries of this sort often entail multi-week recoveries, making it unlikely that he'll be available for the wild-card round of the playoffs if Pittsburgh is able to secure a playoff berth based on how other Week 18 results shake out.
