Whether it’s Week 7 or Week 11, the Pittsburgh Steelers season will probably be over by the time T.J. Watt returns. Still, his return is expected this year. It’s just a matter of when, a timeline now cloudier following news that Watt recently underwent knee surgery that could delay his return by 1-2 weeks.
Following today’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, Mike Tomlin was asked about Watt’s status.
“TJ’s on IR,” he told reporters via the team’s YouTube channel. “When he’s scheduled to come back, if it’s close, we’ll have more details. I’m not disputing the report, but I’m more concerned about the guys that played today, were scheduled to play today and their readiness of what we did or did not do.
