T. J. Watt, the star edge rusher for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is facing some health concerns. He missed practice on Thursday after feeling some discomfort in his lung the day before. This has put his availability for the upcoming Monday night game against the Miami Dolphins in doubt. On Friday, news broke that Watt is probably not going to play in that game. This would be his first game missed since the 2022 season. The good news is that doctors don't think it's a serious issue. They found a small hole in his lung, which has been fixed, but Watt needs to rest to get back to full strength. If Watt can't play, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig are expected to step up as the main edge rushers. This could be a big test for them, as Watt is a key player for the team. It's always tough when a star player might miss a game. But it's good to know that the issue isn't serious. The team will just have to wait and see how Watt feels as the game gets closer. Football is a physical sport, and injuries happen. It's important for players to take care of their health, even if it means missing a game or two. The Steelers will have to rely on their depth and teamwork to get through this challenge.
