Pittsburgh receives disturbing news regarding TJ Watt

The Pittsburgh Steelers look down extremely terrible against Minnesota Vikings in Thursday Night Football. Nothing worked for offensive behavior and the defense looked completely lost. To make matters worse, things are not looking good for TJ Watt.

According to Burt Lauten, TJ Watt is suspected of returning with a groin injury. Considering the Steelers are falling so much, it’s hard to imagine him coming back.

We’ll see how the rest of this game plays out, but the Vikings seem to have full control. If the Steelers can’t get anything going in the opening half of the second half, Pittsburgh could also put in the reserve game and live to fight another day.

As for TJ Watt, there is no official update yet. According to NFL veteran Darius Butler, Watt will not be returning due to his body language.

TJ Watt will not be returning. (Gross) Not wearing gloves to the collar is a common code for “night work”.

It’s been a tough year for TJ Watt, as he faces injuries quite often. When fit, he is undoubtedly one of the best passing players in the league, but injury accidents are preventing him from achieving greatness. The Steelers desperately need Watt in the squad, as they live off their superior passes.

Keep an eye on TJ Watt, as more information regarding his groin injury will come to fruition. The Steelers are hungry for a win right now and could risk putting Watt back on the field. Possibly not, as the Vikings continue to hit Pittsburgh on Thursday Night Football.

Hopefully Watt will return, if not, the Steelers might want to consider giving him some time to properly recover.
