Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers have confirmed that T.J. Watt is in the hospital just a few days before they face the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. This was the team’s official statement on the situation.

“T.J. Watt is currently in a local hospital for further medical evaluation of his lung after experiencing discomfort at the practice facility on Wednesday.
