T.J. Watt is expected to be back in the lineup for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shared the news.

Watt said that he’ll be playing in Week 10 for the Steelers. He also doesn’t see himself being on any sort of a pitch count either. Watt has not played since the team’s season opener vs. the Cincinnati Bengals due to a pectoral injury.

“T.J. Watt is back,” said Rapoport. “Watt being back is major news for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He does not expect restrictions and expects to be doing everything he’s done. He is going to play this week and I have no doubt that he is going to be same the T.J. Watt.”

Watt had 1 sack, 6 total tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 1 interception in the 23-20 overtime win against the Bengals. We’ll see if he can keep up his normal levels of production in his first game back from injury.

Pittsburgh plays the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET on FOX.
