It didn’t look good for T.J. Watt at first.
The four-time first-team All-Professional appeared in dangerous form after seemingly injuring his foot towards the Eagles on Sunday.
Watt had been speeding Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and pulled up following a clumsy step.
He was being evaluated on the sidelines whereas clearly and visibly grimacing in ache and advised reporters postgame that he rolled his ankle — and that an X-ray got here again destructive.
Watt remained out for the rest of the competition, which grew to become a 27-13 loss for the Steelers in Philadelphia as their file dropped to 10-4.
He wasn’t sure about his Week 16 standing towards the rival Ravens.
Watt, who entered the sport with 9.5 sacks in 13 begins, recorded two extra and compelled a fumble towards the Eagles.
Now, the hope is he doesn’t need to miss a substantial period of time because the Steelers embark on the house stretch of their common season.
With a Colts loss to the Broncos, the Steelers clinched a playoff berth, even in defeat.
