‘I’m Hopeful’: Mike Tomlin Provides Update On T.J. Watt’s Recovery

T.J. Watt has missed the last two games due to a punctured lung from a dry-needling incident that required a procedure to fix. According to Mike Tomlin, he may be getting closer to a return.

He was asked if Watt has recovered from the injury and now just needs to work his way back into football shape.

“I think that’s a fair estimation, but again, I’ll let him speak in terms of his medical. I think for me to talk about injury is one thing, to talk about medical is something else,” Tomlin said during his Tuesday press conference.
