While he has not yet been activated to the 53-man roster, all indications point to T.J. Watt returning this week for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The All-Pro pass rusher is expected to be removed from the Reserve/Injured List today or tomorrow in time for the New Orleans Saints game.
Coaches and teammates have been asked for weeks upon weeks about what kind of impact Watt has on the game and how he makes the team better, how he makes their jobs easier. Defensive captain Cameron Heyward approached it from a different angle yesterday when he was asked about the ripple effect such a talent has returning to the lineup.
