Report: Steelers T.J. Watt Won't Miss Time After 'Badly' Dislocated Finger Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt "badly" dislocated his finger and tore multiple finger ligaments during Sunday's win over the Baltimore Ravens, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

Watt popped his finger back into place and continued playing. Although he's not expected to miss time, he may need surgery on his injured finger following the 2023 season depending on how it heals, head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday, per Rapoport.

Despite the injury, Watt had another impressive game, posting two sacks, two pass breakups and a fumble recovery.

Through five games, the All-Pro linebacker has posted eight sacks, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, one of which was returned for a touchdown, 15 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 15 quarterback hits.
