T.J. Watt Confirms Status for Crucial Week 18 Game vs. Ravens After Collapsed Lung

T.J. Watt last suited up for the Steelers on Dec. 7, recording five tackles in Pittsburgh’s 27–22 win over the Ravens. The two fierce rivals face off once again this weekend, with the Sunday Night Football clash set to determine the AFC North title. The Steelers make the playoffs with a win or tie, while Baltimore would take the division with a win.

Days after the first game against the Ravens, Watt was hospitalized after suffering a partially collapsed lung while undergoing a dry needling treatment session at Pittsburgh’s facility. He underwent surgery to treat the condition, and has missed the last three games. Now, with the division and a playoff spot on the line, Watt is ready to return to the field.
