PHILADELPHIA -- In a game where the Steelers are facing the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL, they really could have used their best player. But, it'll have to wait.
On Saturday afternoon, the Steelers did not activate T.J. Watt from injured reserve by Saturday's 4:00 p.m. deadline, meaning he won't be active Sunday in Philadelphia.
Watt has been on IR since he suffered a pectoral injury in the season opener at Cincinnati, then underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to clean up a preseason injury.
Watt returned to practice this past Wednesday, starting his 21-day window to return from IR.
