Steelers' T.J. Watt: Just short of DPOY
T.J. Watt (knee) tallied 68 tackles (48 solo), 19.0 sacks, eight pass breakups, one interception, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one defensive touchdown across 17 regular-season games in 2023.Watt missed Pittsburgh's wild-card loss to the Bills due to a Grade 2 MCL sprain suffered during the team's regular-season finale, but the typical recovery timetable of such an injury shouldn't impact his availability for the start of training camp. The star pass rusher narrowly lost out to Cleveland edge rusher Myles Garrett for Defensive Player of the Year honors, with voting split 165-140. There are no questions about Watt's impact for the Pittsburgh Steelers defense and for fantasy, as he remains one of the few NFL players truly capable of achieving a 20.0-sack campaign. With two years remaining on his deal and just $18.7 million in dead cap for 2024, it's also worth noting that Watt is a worthwhile candidate for a restructure this offseason.

Steelers' T.J. Watt: Ruled out for wild-card game
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that T.J. Watt (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's wild-card game in Buffalo, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.Tomlin's announcement doesn't come as a major surprise after Watt was diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee -- an injury that often entails a multi-week recovery -- after exiting this past Saturday's 17-10 win over Baltimore in the regular-season finale. The star edge rusher could have an outside shot of making it back for a divisional-round matchup with the top-seeded Ravens if the Steelers are able to upset the Bills this weekend.

Steelers' T.J. Watt: Recovering from Grade 2 sprain
T.J. Watt has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee after undergoing an MRI on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Rapoport previously relayed that Watt was feared to have suffered a Grade 3 sprain during Saturday's 17-10 win over the Ravens, but the star edge rusher's older brother -- former NFL standout J.J. Watt -- relayed via social media that the younger Watt is dealing with a Grade 2 sprain. While a Grade 2 sprain would require a shorter healing period than a Grade 3 sprain, Watt is still likely facing a multi-week recovery, which could result in him being unavailable for the wild-card round of the playoffs if the Pittsburgh Steelers are able to secure a postseason spot based on how Week 18 games play out. Watt finished the regular season with 68 tackles, 19 sacks, eight pass breakups, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one interception in 17 games, giving him a strong case for a second NFL Defensive Player of the Year honor of his career.

Steelers' T.J. Watt: Dealing with MCL sprain
T.J. 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 Pittsburgh 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.
