Malik Reed ‘Ready To Embrace’ Starting Role In Wake Of T.J. Watt’s Injury

We do not know, at least as of the time of this writing, what the word is on the status of Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt and the severity of his suspected torn pectoral muscle that he suffered late in yesterday’s season-opening victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
