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.
Mike DeFabo of The Athletic: "Asked if he'll be able to play next week, he said we'll have to wait and see."
We'll have to see about Watt's status for a Week 16 visit to Baltimore. The Saturday kickoff gives him one fewer day than usual to get ready.
If Watt can't play, Nick Herbig would likely start in his place.
Herbig has played 43% and 40% of snaps the past two weeks, with Edge Alex Highsmith back from injury and starting opposite Watt.
Herbig tallied 5 QB hits over the three games before that, with Highsmith out.
