PITTSBURGH -- Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the team announced Saturday.
Watt injured his groin in the first half of a Week 2 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and didn't return in the second half.
"I think it was a tweak here or there and then tried to push through it," Watt said Friday, describing the injury's origin. "Just trying to be smart at the end of the day, ultimately. It's a long season."
Watt, who has three sacks and two forced fumbles this season, was a limited participant in practice all week and was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.
