T.J. Watt is officially back. Moments ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced Watt has officially been activated off injured reserve and placed on the team’s 53-man roster, confirming he will play tomorrow against the New Orleans Saints.
But his return isn’t all good news. In a corresponding move, the team placed CB William Jackson III on IR due to a back injury.
Additionally, the team ruled out FS Minkah Fitzpatrick due to an appendicitis and elevated S Elijah Riley to the 53 man roster.
We have:
• Activated LB T.J. Watt to the active roster
• Downgraded S Minkah Fitzpatrick (appendix) to out for Sunday’s game
• Placed CB Will Jackson on the Reserve/Injured List
• Elevated S Elijah Riley to the Active/Inactive roster @BordasLaw https://t.
