PITTSBURGH -- T.J. Watt isn't back - yet.
The Pittsburgh Steelers opted not to activate the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles.
His 21-day practice window opened earlier this week. Speaking Friday for the first time since he tore his pectoral muscle in the Week 1 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, Watt was vague on his potential availability.
"I was a (practice) participant today, so I mean, just going about my business, doing what I'm asked, seeing how my body responds to the activity," Watt said Friday.
