It couldn't come soon enough! The Pittsburgh Steelers are officially welcoming back reigning Defensive Player of the Year TJ Watt, who has been out of the lineup after suffering a pectoral injury during his team's Week 1 victory. He'll be in action tomorrow at home as the Steelers host the New Orleans Saints.
And his return will be a welcome addition for the Steelers, who are in desperate need of a boost after starting the 2022 season with a paltry 2-6 record through the first eight games.
"I am very excited. It's been a long time coming," Watt said on Friday, via the team's official website. "I feel very, very good about the week that I had and excited to play, excited to be back at Acrisure Stadium and get the fans involved.
"It's huge to finally have a helmet back on and be out there on the field. Just to feel the emotions and feel alive again in the stadium. It's huge to be able to tap a guy on the head after he makes a good play. Get some guys celebrating. Bring some juice, bring some energy is all that I can ask for when it's time to play football. And I'm excited about it."
Kickoff is tomorrow at 1:00 PM EST.
