HC Mike Tomlin said after Week 5’s win over the Ravens that star edge rusher T.J. Watt suffered a finger injury. It wasn’t clear, however, just how bad it was until reports surfaced Tuesday that he suffered a dislocation “and tore multiple ligaments” before popping it back into place to continue the game, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
#Steelers star T.J. Watt suffered a badly dislocated finger and tore multiple ligaments in Sunday’s win over Baltimore, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Watt popped it back in and kept playing — and the injury won’t keep the DPOY candidate off the field after this week’s bye.
