Steelers update status of TJ Watt heading into road trip to Green Bay
T.J. Watt is returning to Wisconsin this weekend as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it looks like the former Badger will be making his return to the field after battling a groin injury.
Watt started the year with a brand new contract with the Steelers, and he went to work right away. He accumulated 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles in the first two weeks of action but left Week 2 with the groin injury. Despite his best efforts, Watt was unable to play in Pittsburgh’s Week 3 loss to Cincinnati.
Fortunately, it is looking like Watt will be cleared for Week 4 in Green Bay. After starting the week as a limited participant in practice, Pittsburgh upgraded Watt to a full participant for Thursday’s session.
Good news, if you’re a #Steelers fan: TJ Watt was a full participant in today’s practice, three days before Pittsburgh heads to his home state of Wisconsin. pic.twitter.com/HvPRL6JcFE

Though Green Bay fans will hope Watt doesn’t get to Aaron Rodgers, it will be cool to see him playing back in Wisconsin. Sunday’s kickoff between the Packers and Steelers is set for 4:25 pm EST on CBS.
