On Tuesday, Mike Tomlin said it was "highly unlikely" T.J. Watt would play Sunday against the Eagles. But after returning to practice this week, Watt is leaving the door open.

"I don't know. Maybe," Watt said when asked about his availability Sunday. "We'll have to see."

Watt tore his pec muscle in the Steelers Week 1 win over the Bengals and underwent knee surgery earlier this month, pushing his return back a bit further. He returned to practice Wednesday, starting a 21-day window for him to be activated off of injured reserve.

Watt said Friday that he is "trending" towards being 100% with both injuries.
