Steelers LB T.J. Watt Out With Groin Injury

Steelers’ LB T.J. Watt left the team’s Week 2 matchup with the Raiders due to a groin injury and was later downgraded to out, according to Brooke Pryor.

Watt, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Steelers back in 2017. He played out his four-year, $9.258 million contract and made a base salary of $1.72 million in 2020.

Pittsburgh exercised Watt’s fifth-year option last offseason for $10.089 million in 2021. He then signed a four-year extension worth over $112 million with the Steelers that included $80 million fully guaranteed at signing.

In 2020, Watt appeared in 15 games for the Steelers and recorded 53 tackles, 15 sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles, and seven pass defenses.
