J.J. Watt Entertains Solution for Steelers Following Brother T.J.'s Injury

The former NFL star had social media buzzing with a clever Photoshop job.

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Tuesday that star linebacker T.J. Watt will miss the wild-card weekend showdown against the Buffalo Bills due to a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee.

J.J. Watt, a current NFL analyst for CBS who reported his brother’s injury news on X on Sunday, jokingly teased a potential return to the football field to sub for T.J.

Watt posted an image of himself wearing his brother's No. 90 Steelers uniform with the caption, "Think they’d notice?"

The former three-time Defensive Player of the Year had social media buzzing by joking he could fill in for his injured younger brother, who led the NFL in sacks this season (19).

You even could break the news yourself.
