The Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt is feared to have suffered a Grade 3 left MCL sprain, a source revealed on Saturday. The 29-year-old player landed awkwardly following his second sack in the 17-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday after colliding with a teammate Montravius Adams. While eager to return to the team following the hit, the Steelers ruled Watt out for the remainder of the game.

“Obviously, man, T.J. is a big part of not just our defense but our team,” fellow Steelers linebacker Elandon Roberts commented. “Great leader, great guy, on and off the field. I’m hoping it’s not as bad. … From a standpoint of our team — not just our defense but our team — we definitely don’t want to see T.J. go down.”

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism that Watt would not be out for an extended period, adding that he expects to provide more information on Watt’s injury status during his next press conference. Having won their final regular-season game, the Steelers will await the results of Sunday’s games to learn if they will qualify for the playoffs.

The Pittsburgh Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt has entered concussion protocol team spokesperson Burt Lauten confirmed. The player reported on Friday morning that he had been feeling concussion symptoms following the Steelers’ 21-18 loss to the New England Patriots.

Watt was injured during the first play of the loss to the Pats when he was hit in the face by the knee of running back Ezekiel Elliott’s at the end of a run. After leaving the field for several snaps, Watt returned to the game wearing a tinted visor later in the first quarter. He ended up playing in 90% of his team’s defensive snaps on the night.

This is a troubling absence for the Steelers, given that the team’s other pass rusher, Alex Highsmith, is out through a neck injury which he also suffered during the loss to the Patriots. In order to be allowed to return to action, Watt must be cleared by an independent neurologist.

The Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Know Alexander suffered a torn Achilles during the 23-19 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. It appears as if the starting linebacker’s injury in the first quarter was non-contact.

“Kwon Alexander has a serious lower-body injury,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin announced after the game. “He’s being evaluated but not promising there.” Second-year linebacker Mark Robinson took over from Alexander while Elandon Roberts took over on-field communication in Alexander’s absence.

Alexander signed with the Steelers during training camp. He previously tore his Achilles tendon on Christmas Day 2020 when he was still playing for the New Orleans Saints. On that occasion, he was able to return after just nine months on the sidelines.

The Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb was carted off during the first quarter of his side’s 20-16 win over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night. Coach Mike Tomlin later revealed that the linebacker had suffered a “serious” knee injury.

Matched up with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, Holcomb was tackled by Titans quarterback Will Levis. As Steelers safety Keanu Neal came in to tackle Hopkins, he clattered into Holcomb’s knee on the way down. The linebacker immediately collapsed, with trainers running out to assist him. He was then carted off the field.

Tomlin explained that while there is no further clarity on Holcomb’s injury, his “thoughts and prayers” are with the player. He added that the team would likely have an update on the situation the next time they reconvene.

Pittsburgh Steelers’ star defensive end T.J. Watt has reportedly torn multiple ligaments in his finger in a 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens last week. But according to NFL Networks’ Tom Pelissero, the 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year isn’t expected to miss any time due to injury.

Watt dislocated his finger at some point during the Ravens’ game but ended up putting it back in place and continued playing. The 29-year-old player will now have an extra week to get better, considering that the Steelers are on bye in Week 6. However, he might need to get surgery in the offseason, depending on how the finger heals.

Watt being able to continue playing is great news for the Steelers, considering he has been arguably the best defensive player in the NFL to start the 2023 campaign. He is leading the league with 8.0 sacks while also contributing with 15 tackles, 15 QB hits, four pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and one defensive touchdown.

The Steelers have been struggling on offense so far in the season, but a great defense has allowed them to remain competitive. They currently own a 3-2 record and are sitting at the top of the AFC West. Pittsburgh is scheduled to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7.

Wide receiver Allen Robinson has passed his physical examination with the Pittsburgh Steelers, sources revealed to ESPN on Wednesday. This makes his trade from the Los Angeles Rams official.

In exchange for their seventh-round pick (No. 234), the Steelers have received both Robinson and the Rams’ seventh-round draft pick (No. 251). In addition, the Rams will pay $10.25 million of Robinson’s $15.25 million guaranteed salary for the 2023 season, with the Steelers picking up the remaining $5 million.

Robinson’s arrival in Pittsburgh adds a deeper layer of experience to the Steelers’ lineup, at the same breaking ranks with the team’s typical strategy of building their roster through the draft as opposed to high-profile trades. The team has broken its status quo this offseason, however, embracing an aggressive free agency strategy that has seen the arrival of veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson and guard Isaac Seumalo.

During the last offseason, the 29-year-old Robinson signed a three-year, $46.5 million contract with the Rams. His season went awry in Week 12, however, when he suffered a left ankle injury against the Kansas City Chiefs. Following surgery, he missed the final six games of the season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are bolstering their secondary with veteran corner Patrick Peterson. The eight-time Pro Bowler is reportedly set to sign a two-year deal with the franchise.

Peterson is expected to get a $7.15 million guaranteed salary for the 2023 season, with the second year being a team option. If the Steelers decide to keep him for 2024, he will get an additional $6.85 million.

While Pittsburgh still hasn’t made the signing official, Peterson himself confirmed the news on social media and his weekly All Things Covered podcast.

Speaking on All Things Covered, Peterson said that he always admired the Steelers franchise and their coach Mike Tomlin, which played a big role in his decision to go to Pittsburgh.

“My agent was doing his job, and he was calling around and seeing what teams were wanting to have me in their locker room, and Pittsburgh was one of those teams we felt would be a great destination for me,” Peterson added.

The 32-year-old spent the past two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, totaling 111 tackles, 20 passes defended, six interceptions, and one defensive touchdown. He said that returning to the Vikings was a real option, but the business side of the deal didn’t work out.

“I definitely wanted to go back to Minnesota,” he explained.

Peterson is now expected to provide veteran leadership to the Steelers and step in for Cameron Sutton, who decided to sign with the Detroit Lions earlier this week. Besides his eight Pro Bowls, Peterson also has two First-Team All-Pro nods on his resume. He has a total of 610 tackles, 111 pass deflections, 34 interceptions, and six touchdowns throughout his 12 years in the league.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are as good as advertised on defense so far in the 2022 NFL season despite injuries to some of their key players. But the same couldn’t be said for their offense, which especially fell flat in Sunday’s 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots.

The Steelers, led by veteran quarterback Mitch Trubinsky under center, managed to generate only 243 yards of total offense, including 152 yards in the passing game against the Pats. They also managed to convert just one of their red zone trips while turning the ball twice.

With Trubisky struggling in his two outings as a Steelers starter, many believe that it won’t be long before the rookie Kenny Pickett takes his spot. However, it appears the team’s head coach Mike Tomlin isn’t ready to make such drastic moves just yet.

Speaking with reporters on Monday, Tomlin said that he would remain patient with the offense as it currently is. 

“I’m going to exercise appropriate patience and continue to teach and ask the guys to continue to learn in an effort to continue to push this train down the track and get better,” said Tomlin.

Tomlin also added that Trubinsky should have been more aggressive while throwing down the field but acknowledged that he isn’t the only one to blame for the shortcomings of the Steelers’ offense.

“We haven’t scored enough points here the last couple of weeks, but that’s a collective, not just the quarterback position, not just the players,” he explained. “It’s all of us are responsible for ringing up the scoreboard.”

The Steelers, who are 1-1 after two weeks, will have a chance to bounce back on Thursday when they play the Cleveland Browns.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff hopes are alive and well despite a rough start to the season. After beating the Chicago Bears in their Monday Night Football clash, the Steelers are now 5-3 and hold the second spot in AFC North. But it didn’t come easy.

The Steelers cruised through the first three-quarters of the game with three touchdowns. Rookie sensation Najee Harris scored on a 10-yard run to wrap up Pittsburgh’s first possession before quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and tight end Pat Freiermuth connected for two more TDs. The Bears, meanwhile, had just two field goals to show for up to that point.

The fourth quarter, however, saw a completely different Chicago on the field. The Bears opened the period with Darnell Mooney’s 15-yard touchdown run before being brought back into the game by the Steelers themselves. Pittsburgh’s Ray-Ray McCloud fumbled the ball during a punt return, and Chicago’s DeAndre Houston-Carson managed to pick it up and return it for a TD.

The Steelers then kicked a field goal to give themselves a 26-20 lead, but the Bears didn’t want to give up. With less than three minutes left on the clock, Chicago’s rookie quarterback Justin Field orchestrated a 75-yard drive that he capped with a TD pass to Darnell Mooney.

Finding themselves behind for the first time in the game, Pittsburgh kept its cool. Roethlisberger took his team down the field and managed to set up a successful 40-yarder for kicker Chris Boswell while leaving the Bears just 26 seconds to work with.

Chicago managed to put together a nice comeback drive but ran out of time to get further down the field. Stuck at Pittsburgh’s 47 yards, the Bears opted to give their kicker Cairo Santos a chance to win the game. Unfortunately for them, Santos’ kick from 65 yards didn’t have enough power and fell short of the goal.

While the Steelers put themselves in a good position with this win, the Bears’ season seems over at this point. They have a 3-6 record and are only ahead of the winless Detroit Lions in the NFC North.

There are no more undefeated teams in NFL this season. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who had a perfect 11-0 start in 2020, saw their unbeaten run come to an end on Monday with a shocking 17-23 loss to the Washington Football Team.

Considering Washington’s good run in recent weeks, many NFL analysts predicted that the Steelers would encounter some problems in this game. But it didn’t look that way early on. 

After each team failed to put points on the board in the first quarter, Pittsburgh took command in the second. The Steelers marched down the field 72 yards and capped off a passing-heavy drive with Ben Roethlisberger’s touchdown pass to Diontae Johnson.

Steelers had a shot to score more points shortly after, with Washington deciding to gamble on 4th & 1. However, Pittsburgh made a gamble of their own, passing the opportunity to kick a field goal and deciding to go for it on 4th and goal.

Washington’s defense stepped up, and rookie Chase Young made a last-second stop in order to get his team the ball back.

After Washington failed to find a way out of their own endzone, they punted the ball and gave the Steelers a good field position for another drive. As it turned out, Pittsburgh needed just one play to capitalize on it as James Washington broke a tackle and embarked on a 50-yard TD run to give the Steelers a 14-0 lead.

Washington, who scored a field goal in the dying seconds of the first half, entered the second period on a much better note. Their defense continued to be disruptive while the offense finally started clicking, and running back Peyton Barber produced a touchdown on their first drive in the third quarter.

Steelers responded with a field goal, but Washington went ahead and scored another TD to make it even. They then took the ball from Pittsburgh on downs and got the lead via Dustin Hopkins’ 45-yard FG.

At that point, Pittsburgh was ready to march down the field and turn things around as they’ve done many times before. But their drive ended up lasting just one play, as Roethlisberger’s throw was tipped by Montez Sweat and then intercepted by Jon Bostic.

Washington then kicked another field goal to make it 17-23, leaving almost no time for Steelers to try for a comeback.

With the win, Washington is now 5-7, and tied with the NY Giants for first place in the NFC East.

Steelers, on the other hand, are still comfortably ahead in AFC North.
