Steelers Lose Sack Leader Watt to Knee Injury
Multiple Sources Report Potential Torn MCL
The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a major blow during their Saturday game when NFL sacks leader T.J. Watt was forced to leave the field with a knee injury.
Uncertainty Surrounds Watt's Recovery Timeline
The exact extent of Watt's injury remains unclear, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the star defensive player is believed to have suffered an MCL sprain. The severity of the injury will be confirmed by further testing, but a Grade 3 MCL sprain typically requires multiple weeks of recovery.
Watt's Absence Would Be a Significant Loss
Losing Watt for any extended period would be a major setback for the Steelers' defense. The 28-year-old pass rusher has established himself as one of the most dominant players in the league, leading the NFL in sacks for the past two seasons. His presence creates chaos for opposing offenses and makes it easier for his teammates to generate turnovers.
