TJ Watt Played Through A ‘Badly’ Dislocated Finger With Multiple Torn Ligaments During Sunday’s Game vs Ravens

T.J. Watt is a warrior.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year played through a gruesome injury. Watt reportedly suffered a “badly” dislocated finger that includes multiple torn ligaments during Sunday’s win vs Baltimore Ravens.

Pelissero adds that, “Watt popped it back in and kept playing — and the injury won’t keep Watt off the field after this week’s bye.”

Ian Rapoport added that Watt may need offseason surgery to repair the finger but the five-time Pro Bowler “doesn’t care” and will continue playing.

Watt finished the game with two sacks, two tackles for loss, two pass deflections and the all-important fumble recovery that lifted the Steelers to first place in the AFC North.

Watt will be out there when the Steelers come off their bye and face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Oct 22nd at SoFi Stadium.
