As T.J. Watt told the media following Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, he just rolled his ankle and X-rays were negative for anything more severe. That is probably a best-case scenario given how close the calendar is to the playoffs, but still not ideal to have the team’s best player in doubt for important upcoming games.
According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Watt should be good for the playoffs and possibly some of the remaining regular season schedule, too.
“He has believed to have suffered a low-ankle sprain, much less significant, much less severe [than Patrick Mahomes],” Rapoport said via Good Morning Football.
