T.J. Watt's MRI Yields Positive Results
3 years agoAn MRI exam on Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt's injured hip and knee came back negative on Monday, but he is still sore, according to sources. Before the MRI, the Steelers were calling Watt week-to-week after he was injured in the third quarter of the Week 10 tie with the Detroit Lions. It's still unclear if the All-Pro pass-rusher will need to miss any time, but the good news is that Watt doesn't appear to have a long-term injury. The 27-year-old ranks as the No. 2 IDP linebacker with 29 tackles, 12.5 sacks, four passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, so fantasy managers and the Steelers are hoping he won't have to miss any time. Pay close attention to his practice status this week as the team prepares for a Week 11 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers.
