Although the excitement for the start of a new season in the NFL is still in the air, several teams are left with mixed feelings, such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, who, despite achieving a dramatic victory in overtime over the Cincinnati Bengals, now fear the sensitive loss of defensive TJ Watt, who would have suffered a ruptured pectoral that could leave him out for the rest of the season.
This was announced by ESPN's Adam Schefter, who added that a second and third medical opinion would be sought regarding the condition of the condition in case surgery is needed, while other reports from CBS Sports ensure that the damage to the pass rusher is not It was so severe so that he could return to the gridirons before the end of the regular season.
In addition to the previous reports, NFL Network announced that once the necessary sources have been consulted, the franchise will announce the final diagnosis on the state of TJ Watt this Tuesday after performing an MRI to assess the damage.
If the worst possible scenario for Pittsburgh and the player is confirmed, it would be a loss since they will not be able to count on the player decorated as the defensive player of the year during the previous season, thanks to his outstanding performances.
As if the bad news around TJ Watt weren't enough, there is also the possibility that his star running back, Najee Harris, has also suffered a severe injury after leaving the game in the final stretch after feeling discomfort in one of his feet.
Although more details about the suffering of the Steelers' offensive star are unknown, the alarms are turned on because he suffered a similar injury during the preseason, for which there is fear of relapse or of having aggravated the existing ailments at that time.
The Steelers will return to the gridiron next September 18 against the New England Patriots, who have just been defeated by the Miami Dolphins after a questionable performance by Mac Jones.
