Report: Watt playing in 2 weeks with brace 'absolute best-case scenario'

The Pittsburgh Steelers might need to make a playoff run for T.J. Watt to see the field again this season.

The "absolute best-case scenario" for Watt - who's dealing with a Grade 2 MCL sprain - is to play in two weeks with a brace, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Steelers will travel to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in the wild-card round.

Despite his injury during Saturday's win over the Baltimore Ravens, Watt led the NFL in sacks (19) for the third time in his career.

The star pass-rusher was hurt after his leg was caught awkwardly in the turf following a collision with teammate Montravius Adams.

With Watt likely sidelined for at least one game, the Steelers will rely on Alex Highsmith and Markus Golden.
