Watt 'pretty beat up' on top of already having been that

ATLANTA -- The Steelers managed to leave Mercedes-Benz Stadium with a 19-16 victory and no major injuries.

However, Mike Tomlin said one player was "pretty beat up" during the game, and it's one player the Steelers can't afford to lose. Yep, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, T.J. Watt.

Watt sustained an injury to his ribs in the win over the Colts six days prior to Sunday's win in Atlanta. The injury had him limited throughout the week, and even caused a sliver of doubt that he may not dress when he was listed as questionable.
