T.J. Watt Injury and Potential Return Timeline

T.J. Watt Injury and Potential Return Timeline

Steelers star pass rusher T. J. Watt exited to the locker room late against the Bengals with an apparent pec injury and was quickly ruled out.

By video, the Pro Football Docs have worry for a torn pec, which Watt appeared to say as he walked to the locker room.

If confirmed, he will undergo surgery but would have a chance to return late in the season.

His brother J.J. Watt suffered a torn pec with the Texans in 2019. He suffered the injury in Week 8 and returned just over two months later.

The full recovery timeline for a torn pec is typically three-to-four months, potentially allowing T.J. Watt to return in late December or early January.

Watt appeared to suffer the injury on a pass rush when he shoved Bengals right tackle La'el Collins.

Pittsburgh faces the Patriots in Week 2 and could be without running back Najee Harris as well.
