Pittsburgh Steelers defense moves closer to full strength with return of T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick

PITTSBURGH -- After playing without several key members of their defense a week ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense will be closer to full strength against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

T.J. Watt, who missed Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, doesn't have an injury designation in the final practice report. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is good to go after a 10-day stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Meanwhile, Joe Haden, who also missed the Chargers game, is questionable.

"I'm real happy about it," defensive coordinator Keith Butler said Thursday.
