The good news for the Pittsburgh Steelers is that they were able to defeat the Baltimore Ravens this evening at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore by a 17-10 final, moving them closer to a potential playoff berth that will require some outside help.
The bad news is that Defensive Player of the Year candidate T.J. Watt was injured and was declared out for the rest of the game. And now, some light is being shed on the extent of the injury, and the latest reports are not good should the Steelers indeed qualify for the postseason.
According to multiple reports, Watt is believed to have suffered a Grade 3 MCL sprain, which typically requires several weeks to heal.
Reporter Ian Rapoport had the following to say on his social media account regarding Watt's status:
"Based on initial tests, #Steelers potential DPOY TJ Watt is believed to have suffered a Grade 3 MCL sprain, sources said. He’ll have further tests, but that’s a multi-week injury.
Better than an ACL tear. But not good if PIT makes the playoffs."
