TJ Watt Doesn’t Hold ‘Grudge’ Over Controversial Block That Caused Injury

Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt does not hold any resentment against Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson after Pittsburgh's 19-9 victory against Detroit in its preseason finale on Sunday.

The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year left Sunday’s game early after taking a low block from Hockenson during the first play of the Lions fourth drive, resulting in a knee injury for Watt. Instead of having ill feelings, Watt plans to find a solution to dealing with blocks of that nature.

“Obviously it's being taught cause it's a legal move,” Watt told reporters, per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.
