Report: T.J. Watt Not Expected To Need Surgery, Could Return By Late October

When the Pittsburgh Steelers go trick-or-treating on Halloween, they may find a T.J. Watt in their bag. In the latest update on Watt’s pectoral injury, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport report Watt is not expected to need season-ending surgery. Instead, he will rehab and could return by the end of next month.

#Steelers reigning defensive player of the year TJ Watt is still waiting on more information, but the belief is his pectoral injury will not require surgery and is not season-ending, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.
