The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15, but they had an even bigger scare when T.J. Watt left the game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. Watt fell to the turf grabbing the right ankle, but X-Rays came back negative. Watt himself said after the game he just twisted the ankle, and now head coach Mike Tomlin has given an overall positive update on Watt.

In his weekly press conference, Tomlin said he feels “optimistic on the availability” of Watt when the Steelers travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens this Saturday.

Watt suffered a sprained MCL in the season finale in Baltimore last season, which kept him out of the playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, with it sounding as if the ankle injury was more scare than severe, along with the Steelers chance to win the division this week, it be shocking to not see No. 90 on the field.
