PITTSBURGH -- Steelers star pass rusher T.J. Watt, two weeks removed from sustaining a partially punctured lung during a dry needling treatment and having subsequent reparative surgery, returned to practice for the first time Wednesday.

Watt, who was listed as a limited participant, went through individual drills with the defense in his first practice since missing the past two games.

"It's awesome to have him out there," outside linebacker Alex Highsmith said.
