This is the last thing Pittsburgh needs right now.

Okay, this is the very last thing that the Pittsburgh Steelers need right now.
TJ Watt, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year who has already missed most of this season with a pectoral injury suffered in Week 1, has been limited in practice this week, and did not practice at all earlier today. Meanwhile, Diontae Johnson didn't practice today either thanks to a hip ailment.
Take a look at what head coach Mike Tomlin had to say about his team's injury report:
“Guys that were carrying bumps and bruises into play who were somehow limited during the course of last week’s work, but then were able to play, you just don’t want to assume that that’s behind them,” Tomlin said, via the team’s website. “I’m prepared for them maybe to be affected somewhere in the early portions of the week, but not as we lean in on game time. Guys like T.J. [Watt], Larry Ogunjobi, guys that kind of were partial participants at various times last week may be slowed as we come together and get this train out of the station.”
The Steelers take on the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday.
