PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt missed practice with a new toe injury on Wednesday. While Watt often misses the first practice of the week, the issue is something to take note of moving forward.

Watt’s injury happened late in their game against the Buffalo Bills. He was not mentioned by head coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday, which makes it seem likely Watt should play against the Baltimore Ravens in a must-win game. If he could not play, the Steelers would start Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig.

Watt registered just one pressure against the Bills, who were down both of their starting offensive tackles. Teams have started to chip Watt and reduce splits to muddy his path, and they will not give him free one-on-ones anymore.
