2021 Week Two GDT Steelers vs Da Raiders!


Steeler Hitman

Twitter and the announcers are making a big deal about TJ not having a helmet…but it could also be the team saying just rest it to halftime then we will stretch you and see where we are.

Obviously still isn’t great, but I wouldn’t throw the towel in on him yet. Makes sense to let Highsmith and Ingram run till half.

Teams have to grant access to the broadcast crew about injury status. CBS has confirmed its a groin injury. Watt isn't coming back into this game unless other player's injuries necessitate it. Why would you sit Watt for snap count on a huge drive where the Raiders could score AND get the ball back to start the second half.

He’s obviously out now but you don’t want to push it, wait, then push it again when you can just rest him…for what you hope to be is general rest. 

Losing TJ watt long term isn’t worth one finishing drive of the half. Wait, rest, re-evaluate. That’s why I said they could just hold him out.
