Broken rib maybe? Im honestly relieved I figured he had a minor heart attack like his brother a few years back.
Hope he’s ok
Oh damn
Someone needs to curse Perna back for this
The Wheel has spoken
Woah. That sounds scary. Prayers for TJ
Get well soon TJ, let the young fellas run wild if you gotta sit out
Fuck you Perna
Yikes..that’s not good.
Gonna miss a game bc ONE lung is injured? Where’s the grit and tenacity?! /s
Hope this is nothing major, get well soon TJ
holy shit
I hope that man’s alright, and I’ll be sure to send a strongly worded email towards Perna
Let TJ get some rest. Time for Highsmith Herbig and Wilson to eat.
Could be something like a pulmonary embolism, hopefully not as that would keep him out for the rest of the season. But the fact they specifically state the lung concerns me. Hoping for the best for TJ.
Sounds scary, hope TJ is okay
hopefully he is ok, but if he is cleared to play he needs all the rest for Detroit and penei Sewell.
Damn hope he is good. Hopefully it’s just a rib
Steelers star players with a 2-letter acronym first name are having a tough time lately.
Metcalf seems to be fine, hopefully for TJ this is just out of an abundance of caution and isn’t anything too serious.
Where can I donate mine?
I bet it’s because of the Clairton mill n’at. /s
Prayers for him what the hell is going on first DK after the Baltimore game and now TJ

At least his annual injury came later this year.
Goddamn perna! 😡
I’ll give him my lung
It apparently occurred during treatment yesterday.
This is truly concerning. Get better TJ.
Well thats definitely some news. Jack Sawyer gang rise up!
Dang first dk with stomach isssues now tj with respiratory issues. Pack ya own food and drinks when in Baltimore
First Metcalf stomach issues, now TJ Watt lung. Is Baltimore trying to poison our players?
An ESPN alert put around 1:00 EST said the injury “ occurred during treatment at the team facility”. Now what does that mean?
We all know Injuries R Big Part of the GAME! But Jesus H Christ, it sure seemed like the steelers get there Fare Share & MORE every MOFO year..
My Prayers R with U TJ🙏
Oh no
Pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax, rib fracture, or pulmonary contusion would be my presumption in an otherwise healthy athlete that needs to go to the hospital.
I’ve heard a lot of complaints about TJ. this year. Should have been traded. Didn’t deserve that contract. Is in decline.
Might miss a game and suddenly he’s good again!
Latest Update Per Schef – T.J. Watt’s lung injury occurred during treatment at the team facility Wednesday. Watt has been hospitalized since then
Possible Tyrod Taylor-Chargers type incident.
Ravens fan here coming in peace.. hope he’s good the sport needs him.
This is what happens when you switch to a Highmark health plan that costs twelve bucks a month and offers the same level of doctor coverage as a decorative napkin with words get well soon on it.
With absolutely no knowledge other than it happening during treatment, my best guess as an ER doc is a pneumothorax (dropped lung) from getting an injection. Like if he was getting a rib block, clavicle, etc. Otherwise IDK what else could possibly cause a lung injury from treatment, unless he was inhaling something odd.
