It’s beginning to sound and look like Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt won’t play against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night as he’s currently dealing with an injured knee and hip. Even if Watt does wind up playing on Sunday night, the Steelers will still likely need to fellow outside linebackers Taco Charlton and Derrek Tuszka to play a large number of snaps in that contest. On Thursday, Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler held his weekly press conference and during it he was asked to evaluate the play of both Charlton and Tuszka to date. He was also asked if those two outside linebackers will be ready to handle increased roles on Sunday night against the Chargers.
