T.J. Watt Set to Play vs. Ravens

T.J. Watt Set to Play vs. Ravens

The Steelers listed Edge T.J. Watt as a full participant in Thursday's practice and gave him no injury designation for Saturday's game against the Ravens. So Watt's ready to play just six days after spraining an ankle late in the loss to the Eagles. Don't be surprised if we get a more limited version of Watt against Baltimore. But there's risk to sitting the star pass rusher. I'll be watching for reports ahead of the game signaling any specific limitation on his playing time or mobility.

Steelers Edge T.J. Watt returned to a limited practice Wednesday and is expected to play Saturday against the Ravens. HC Mike Tomlin said earlier in the week that he's "optimistic" about Watt's chances of playing through the low-ankle sprain he sustained late in the Week 15 loss to the Eagles.

Steelers Edge T.J. Watt left Sunday's loss to the Eagles late in the fourth quarter with a left leg injury. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it's a low-ankle sprain. Watt said after the game that X-rays were negative.
