Pittsburgh Steelers star linebacker T.J. Watt injured his left ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and didn’t return.
Watt told reporters after the game that he rolled the ankle. Watt said he underwent X-rays and the results were negative.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said that Watt will be evaluated throughout the week. Pittsburgh visits the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC North showdown on Saturday.
Watt said he was unsure if he would be able to play against Baltimore.
Watt was injured while rushing around the edge in an effort to reach Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. He began to limp during the play and then fell to the ground with 4:46 left in the contest and reached for the ankle.
The 30-year-old Watt had two sacks and a forced fumble to go with seven tackles on Sunday. He has 11 1/2 sacks this season to reach double digits for the sixth time in his eight-year career.
Watt, a six-time Pro Bowl selection, has 108 career sacks in 118 games with Pittsburgh. He was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2021 when he had a career-high 22.5 sacks to match the official league record (since 1982).
