Steelers Announce T.J. Watt, Diontae Johnson Will Play Sunday

The Steelers will have T.J. Watt, Diontae Johnson, and Malik Reed for their matchup Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, the team announced Saturday.

All three players had their statuses upgraded from questionable to no designation, signaling that all three will be ready to play. That now leaves the Steelers without an injury designation for the entire game. With the full team healthy, the thing to watch will be Chris Boswell and his potential return from injured reserve.

Watt (Ribs) has been banged up since the end of the Colts. He is determined to play through the injury, however. Having already missed plenty of time with his pectoral injury, Watt will play with a protector on his ribs. He admitted it was tough playing against the Falcons, but the star outside linebacker will play.

Johnson (Hip) suffered the injury in Atlanta. He noted that he would test the injury on Sunday to see if he could go, but it appears that Johnson has passed all tests and will play regardless. The Steelers now will expect to have their entire wide receiver corps.

Reed (Back) logged a full practice on Friday and was trending toward playing. Now with his official designation removed, the Steelers will have their full outside linebacker corps against Baltimore on Saturday.
