T.J. Watt Added to Steelers Injury Report

The Pittsburgh Steelers are evaluating an injury to their superstar outside linebacker after the Ravens game.
In this story:

PITTSBURGH -- Following a dramatic, come-from-behind win over the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Mike Tomlin added a big name to the Pittsburgh Steelers' injury report. 

Tomlin said superstar outside linebacker T.J. Watt is dealing with a finger injury that is still being evaluated. He added that Larry Ogunjobi had been "shaken up" during the game but the nature and severity of his injury is unknown. 

Calvin Austin was tested for a concussion but returned to the game. He played, but bowed out of punt-returning duties and Gunner Olszewski took over. 

Watt took himself out of the game in the first half and was flexing his hand as he jogged over to the sideline. It didn't seem to affect him, though, as he returned to the game and continued to affect the game in a massive way. He made just one tackle but it was on the final defensive play of the game - a fourth down stop that gave the Steelers the ball back with 15 seconds left holding a seven-point lead. 

The good news for the Steelers is that they'll have two weeks to recover from these ailments. They aren't in action for another 14 days, when they'll visit Los Angeles for a date with the Rams in Week 7.
