Last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers felt what it was like to lose the most valuable player on their team for a significant amount of time. Coming off a Defensive Player of the Year campaign in 2021, OLB T.J. Watt was set to wreak havoc on opposing offenses again before a pec injury suffered in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals caused him to miss seven games. Watt returned after the team’s bye week, playing less than 100%, but still managed to help Pittsburgh turn around from a 1-6 record with him out of the lineup to an 8-2 record upon his return.
