T.J. Watt will be returning to the Steelers' defense this Sunday against the Saints.
While the team has yet to make the official move to activate him from injured reserve, Watt laid any doubt to rest with one simple word when he was asked if he will play Sunday: "Yes."
"Yes, I am very excited," Watt added. "It's been a long time coming. I feel very good about the week that I had. I'm excited to play. Excited to be back at Acrisure Stadium and get the fans involved."
Watt's return will provide a huge shot in the arm for a defense that has struggled since he went down with a pectoral injury in Week 1.
