With star outside linebacker T.J. Watt likely going to miss Sunday’s Wild Card Round matchup between the No. 7-seed Pittsburgh Steelers and the host No. 2-seed Buffalo Bills, all eyes are on the depth behind the All-Pro pass rusher and Defensive Player of the Year candidate, particularly on rookie Nick Herbig.
Watt, who suffered a sprained MCL in the Week 18 season finale win over the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, will miss a couple of weeks, so the Steelers will have to find a way to replace him. There’s no way to replace a guy like Watt 1:1, but the Steelers have the depth behind him to try and patch things together with Herbig and veteran Markus Golden.
