PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most injured teams in the NFL currently, and the bad luck continues.

As the Steelers prepare to board their flight for Paris, France, the team got one final practice in before departing from Pittsburgh. Already down several key players, the Steelers cannot afford to lose another impact player.

Which made superstar edge rusher T.J. Watt’s sudden appearance on the Injury Report quite the concerning update. The top-paid defender missed a previous practice due to rest, but the latest report from the organization classified him as a limited participant due to a calf injury. The team did not include any type of game designation for Watt, although they did rule out wide receiver Ben Skowronek and cornerback Brandin Echols for their Week 7 matchup.

What This Means for Steelers

This is now the second star edge rusher to appear on the injury report this week. The team’s other starter, Alex Highsmith, popped up on the Injury Report with a groin injury. The injury reduced him to a limited participant in practice ahead of their international contest.

Now, Watt is working through his own ailment. It’s good news that the organization hasn’t ruled him out, but how healthy he is entering Week 7 is under serious question.
