In an update shared by T.J. Watt's brother J.J. on X (formerly known as Twitter), it has been revealed that the star edge rusher suffered a grade two MCL sprain during the Pittsburgh Steelers' 17-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on X.

According to J.J. Watt, this news comes as the "best case scenario for TJ," offering some optimism regarding the extent of the injury. However, it is still expected that Watt will likely miss the upcoming weekend's playoff game if the Steelers secure a berth in the NFL Playoffs.

All eyes are now on the outcome of the Jacksonville Jaguars versus Tennessee Titans game, scheduled for 1 p.m. today. A loss for the Jaguars would secure a playoff spot for the Steelers.

If the Jaguars do not come through, the Steelers will anxiously await the result of the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins. A loss for the Bills in that game would also guarantee a playoff spot for Pittsburgh.

The Steelers and their fans are keeping their fingers crossed as they hope for favorable results from the remaining games that will determine their postseason fate. The news of T.J. Watt's injury has added to the suspense, but the team remains hopeful of a successful playoff run despite the potential setback.
