There's good news and bad news on the Steelers injured reserve front, as T.J. Watt returned to practice while the 21-day window has passed for rookie Calvin Austin III to be activated, meaning the latter is out for the season.

Watt was seen wearing a helmet during one-on-one drills at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex Wednesday afternoon, while the club announced his return after practice.
