Watt’s 21-day practice window has not opened just yet. The target date for Watt has seemingly been to return after the bye week when the Steelers will play the New Orleans Saints at hope. The display from Watt on Sunday spell that Watt is likely to make good on that promise.
Since coming to Pittsburgh, the Steelers only have one win without Watt on the field. It underscores the importance for the Steelers to get their start pass rusher back at the bye, even if he may never truly be healthy the rest of the season due to lingering issues.
