One day after being placed on season-ending injured reserve as part of the final roster cutdowns for the Pittsburgh Steelers, rookie safety Ryan Watts’ injury appears more serious than expected.
According to The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo, Watts was seen at practice Wednesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side wearing a neck brace.
DeFabo tweeted it out moments ago.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko actually captured video of Watts in the neck brace, though seemingly without noticing, tweeting about rookie offensive tackle Troy Fautanu’s pass sets during practice.
You can see Watts off to the side with the neck brace on in the video.
