It was a scary past week for Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt, who was hospitalized and had surgery to repair a partially collapsed lung suffered last Wednesday. Watt missed the team’s 28-15 win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, but DL Cam Heyward broke out Watt’s traditional sack celebration after bringing down QB Tua Tagovailoa. After the Steelers’ 28-15 win, Heyward said it’s something that was planned ahead of time.
“Me, Nick [Herbig] and Alex [Highsmith] talked about it. I don’t think I got my leg up high enough, but we all wanted to shoutout T.J.,” Heyward said during his postgame press conference via the team’s YouTube channel.
