On joining “The Pat McAfee Show,” former NFL defensive end J.J. Watt outlined some of his concerns, too. In his speech, he remembered his brother, T.J. Watt, who is currently sidelined due to a serious lung injury. On December 10, T.J. underwent surgery to repair a partially collapsed lung. The injury occurred in the context of a dry needling treatment. This will mark T.J.’s second straight game missed following his injury. Or, as Pittsburgh Steelers players prepare to face the Detroit Lions this Sunday, the coaching staff has been churning out.
In his interview, J.J. Watt discussed what’s going on with T.J.’s rehab process after this surgery. You know, this is a serious injury,” he added, while confirming that T.J. is still recuperating today. J.J. not practicing this week after leaving for personal reasons. That doesn’t mean he isn’t a vocal advocate for his twin brother, and his overall support for the team.
The timing of J.J.’s visit was perfect, as his arrival aligned with a special practice at Steelers’ facility featuring the Pittsburgh Symphony. He attended Friday’s practice as a spectator, showing his continued commitment to the team’s morale despite his absence from on-field activities.
In addition to T.J. Watt’s absence, the Steelers will be without several key players in their matchup against the Lions. Running back Derrick Harmon is primed for a return after missing three games with a knee injury. His return will provide the team with a massive emotional boost! Native Dameyune Craig showed promise, and Isaac Seumalo, who has been ruled out as he recovers from a triceps injury. James Pierre is another absence with a calf injury.
The Steelers will have their work cut out for them as they deal with these injuries and more as they prepare to host Detroit Monday night. With T.J. Watt’s major absence and a lot of players on the sidelines, this could potentially change how they perform on the field.
