The Pittsburgh Steelers have had six players test positive for COVID-19 so far in the past several weeks, including three in just the past week, with Joe Haeg, then Robert Spillane, and before them, a week ago today, T.J. Watt. Haeg and Spillane are currently the only two on the Reserve/COVID-19 List.
Of the six, Watt is the only one who hasn’t had to miss a game. But he’s not the first one to be unable to practice all week before playing their next game. It’s the third time that’s happened, first to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, then to safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, and finally to Watt, in each of the past three weeks.
