"PITTSBURGH -- Steelers star pass rusher T.J. Watt is in a local hospital for further evaluation of his lung after experiencing discomfort at the practice facility Wednesday, and his status for Monday's game against the Miami Dolphins is in question, team spokesman Burt Lauten said in a statement. Watt, 31, will not practice on Thursday, Lauten said. Watt's lung injury occurred during treatment at the team facility on Wednesday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Watt has been hospitalized since then, the sources said."
"Watt had six tackles, including one tackle for loss, and a quarterback hit in the win against the Ravens on Sunday where he played 68 (88%) defensive snaps. The former Defensive Player of the Year and four-time All-Pro, who signed a three-year, $123 million extension in July, has seven sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception this season along with 18 quarterback hits and 10 tackles for loss in 13 games this season."
