T.J. Watt Misses Practice With Toe Injury Ahead of SteelersRavens

Recent explosiveness data trending down adds urgency to the team's evaluation of his availability for Baltimore.

Overview

  • The Steelers listed T. J. Watt as a Wednesday practice non-participant with a new toe injury, per local reporting.
  • Head coach Mike Tomlin did not mention Watt in his Tuesday update, which has been taken as a positive sign for his chances to face the Ravens.
  • Watt posted just one pressure against Buffalo, which was without both starting offensive tackles, as offenses increased chips and reduced splits to slow him.
  • His first-step metric has fallen to 0.87 in 2025 from 0.75 in 2023, and the toe issue could further affect production if it lingers.
  • If he is unavailable, Pittsburgh would start Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig on the edge.
