Ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 16 clash with the Baltimore Ravens, J.J. Watt gave his candid assessment of T.J. Watt's ankle injury.

During the Christmas Day broadcast of the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 17 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, it was revealed that star edge rusher T.J. Watt is dealing with a thumb injury that was not listed on the injury report this week.
