"Steelers' T.J. Watt Sidelined with MCL Sprain as Team Preps for Potential Playoffs Without Him"
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain, which is less severe than the initially reported Grade 3 sprain. His brother, J.J. Watt, shared that T.J. will need a "couple weeks" of rest and recovery. The Steelers' playoff hopes could influence the urgency of Watt's return, as a loss by the Bills or Jaguars could see the team in the postseason, potentially accelerating Watt's comeback. If the Steelers do not make the playoffs, Watt will have ample time to recover before the next season.
