Former NFL DE J.J. Watt broke some news on the injury status of his brother T.J., who suffered a knee injury in Pittsburgh’s Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Initially reported as a Grade 3 MCL sprain, J.J. delivered the good news on Twitter that it’s a Grade 2 MCL sprain, and everything else in his knee “looks pristine.”
J.J. said it will take a “couple weeks of rest/recovery,” which doesn’t necessarily bode well for T.J.’s status if he can play next week for the Steelers to make the playoffs. He also alluded to that fact on The NFL Today on CBS, saying the Steelers could “make a little run” for T.
