Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt's (knee) brother, J.J. Watt, said that his younger brother is facing a best-case scenario after getting hurt in Saturday's Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens because he's dealing with a Grade 2 MCL sprain. Everything else in Watt's knee is intact, so he's expected to only need a couple weeks of rest and recovery before he's good to go. The 29-year-old All-Pro pass-rusher hyperextended his left knee in the second half of Saturday's game when he came down on his teammate's foot. The Steelers have yet to clinch a playoff spot and need some help on Sunday, but if they get in, it's looking like they won't have their best player on defense for the wild-card round, barring a miraculous recovery in a week's time. Watt is one of the most dynamic defenders in the game and finished the regular season with 68 tackles, a league-leading 19 sacks, eight passes defensed, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and an interception.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
