Steelers' T.J. Watt: Ruled out for Monday
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Friday that Watt has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Dolphins and is "resting comfortably" at home after having undergone a procedure Thursday to address a partially collapsed lung, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
The edge rusher has since been released from the hospital, but Watt will need time to rest up and recover from the procedure before being cleared for a return to game action, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. As such, Watt's status for Week 16 against the Lions will also need to be monitored. With Watt slated to miss his first game of the season Monday, expect Nick Herbig to move into a starting role at outside linebacker.

Steelers' T.J. Watt: Looking unlikely for Monday
Watt had a tiny hole in his lung repaired after being taken to a hospital Thursday and appears "unlikely" to play Monday against the Dolphins, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
According to Pelissero, the lung issue isn't viewed as a long-term concern, but Watt will need to rest up and recuperate from the recent operation before being cleared to return to game action. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that Watt was "comfortable" after getting the lung issue addressed, but noted that the star edge rusher's status for Monday's game was "up in the air." However, unless Watt returns to practice by Saturday, he would seem to be a long shot to play Monday. If Watt ends up missing his first game of the season, Nick Herbig would likely move into a starting role at outside linebacker in his stead.

Steelers' T.J. Watt: Hospitalized with lung issue
The Steelers announced that Watt won't practice Thursday to undergo further evaluation on his lung after he was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital upon experiencing discomfort Wednesday at the team's facility.
According to a statement from the team, Watt's "status for Monday night's game versus Miami is in question," and head coach Mike Tomlin "will provide more updates at the appropriate time." If the star edge rusher isn't available to play Week 15, Nick Herbig would likely step into a starting role at outside linebacker opposite Alex Highsmith.

Steelers' T.J. Watt: Full participant Thursday
Watt (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Watt did not practice Wednesday but his upgrade to full participant Thursday essentially eliminates any doubts about his ability to suit up for Sunday's divisional clash against the Ravens. The 31-year-old logged just 1.0 sacks in three matchups with the Ravens during the 2024 regular season and postseason.

Steelers' T.J. Watt: Strip sack in loss
Watt recorded five total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also forcing a fumble in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.

The sack was also the linebacker's 115th of his career, passing his older brother J.J. Watt's 114.5 career sacks. On the year, T.J. Watt has compiled 43 total tackles (18 solo), including 7.0 sacks, while also adding an interception, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 11 contests.
