Rotoworld Player News

Darnell Washington

PIT Tight End #80

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Steelers TE Darnell Washington (concussion) was limited on Friday.

That is unfortunate. One would hope to see Washington increase his participation every day, as he works his way through the NFL’s five-phase concussion protocol. It is possible he stalled out in the third phase. Hopefully, he upgrades to full tomorrow and can be on the field when his team faces the Dolphins on Monday night.
Calvin Austin

PIT Wide Receiver #19

Steelers WR Calvin Austin (calf) was limited in Friday’s practice.

It was a mid-week downgrade, never a great sign. Austin played a season-low 16 offensive snaps on Sunday with new additions Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Adam Thielen taking bigger roles, so he’s droppable in most leagues.
Cameron Heyward

PIT Defensive Tackle #97

Steelers DT Cameron Heyward (knee) did not practice on Friday.

It’s a new listing, and one that puts Heyward’s status for Week 15 in some doubt ahead of Monday night. The veteran likely doesn’t actually need the practice at this point, but mid-week downgrades are always a bit scary. Sunday’s report should add some clarity to the proceedings.
T.J. Watt

PIT Linebacker #90

CBS Sports’ J.J. Watt reports T.J. Watt “had successful surgery to stabilize and repair a partially collapsed lung” on Wednesday.

According to Watt, the Steelers’ pass-rusher suffered a collapsed lung during a “dry needling treatment session at the facility.” Watt’s recovery time is unknown, but it’s safe to assume he will miss the Week 15 game against the Dolphins. Watt is expected to return at some point this season.
T.J. Watt

PIT Linebacker #90

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero believes “it seems to be trending toward T.J. Watt (lung) missing” Week 15’s game against the Dolphins.

Watt was hospitalized with a lung issue on Wednesday and was unsurprisingly listed as a DNP on Thursday. He’ll have some extra time to get ready ahead of Monday night’s matchup against the Dolphins, but given the nature of the injury, this may not be something Watt can “tough it out” to play through. With two days of practice left to go, we’ll continue to monitor his status throughout the week, but the Steelers could be down their top defensive player in a pivotal Week 15 matchup.
DK Metcalf

PIT Wide Receiver #4

Steelers WR DK Metcalf (abdomen) is practicing fully for Week 15 against the Dolphins.

This is great news. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was optimistic about Metcalf’s odds of suiting up, but said Metcalf might miss time in practice this week. The Steelers’ No. 1 wide receiver is now firmly on track to face the Dolphins on Monday night. He can be treated as a WR2.
Darnell Washington

PIT Tight End #80

Steelers TE Darnell Washington (concussion) was limited on Thursday.

The fact that Washington is able to practice is a plus. The Steelers’ jumbo-size tight end suffered a concussion in Week 14 against the Ravens. Players frequently miss at least one game due to concussions, but the Steelers play on Monday night this week, so the added rest day may have increased his odds of playing.
DK Metcalf

PIT Wide Receiver #4

Steelers WR DK Metcalf (abdomen) was seen practicing on Thursday.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Tuesday that Metcalf should be able to play in the team’s Monday Night Football game against the Dolphins this week, but there was a chance Metcalf could miss practice time. Instead, Metcalf took the field for the week’s first practice. Expect him to play on Monday night.
T.J. Watt

PIT Linebacker #90

Steelers EDGE 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.”

This news comes directly from the team. Steelers spokesman Burt Lauden added that Watt will not practice on Thursday and his status for Monday’s game is in question. Head coach Mike Tomlin will provide more updates at the appropriate time. It’s a scary update for one of the best defenders in the league. The hope will be that this is a short-term issue, but it’s too early to say anything definitively. We don’t expect Watt to suit up versus the Dolphins on Monday.
Darnell Washington

PIT Tight End #80

Steelers TE Darnell Washington is in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Washington left Week 14’s win over the Ravens with a head injury and did not return. If he’s unable to clear the protocol before the Steelers’ Week 15 Monday night game against Miami, Pat Freiermuth would likely operate as the team’s primary pass-catching tight end. Freiermuth could be a nice deep league streaming option while Jonnu Smith — who has five receptions over his past five games — should remain on waiver wires.
