During his weekly Tuesday press conference with the media, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin offered an injury update ahead of Sunday’s Wild Card matchup against the Buffalo Bills. None bigger than the status of OLB T.J. Watt, who suffered a Grade 2 MCL Sprain in the second half of Week 18’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. Tomlin ruled Watt out of Sunday’s playoff game.
“T.J. can be characterized as out this week with his knee injury,” Tomlin said via the team’s YouTube channel.
Watt suffered the injury in a freak moment, colliding with NT Montravius Adams after attempting to jump and bat down a pass.
