Pittsburgh Steelers star linebacker TJ Watt participated in limited practice Wednesday, three days after injuring his left ankle in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Watt’s status for Saturday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens has not yet been determined.
He missed Tuesday’s practice, then progressed by participating in Wednesday’s individual drills.
Watt injured his ankle with 4:46 remaining in Pittsburgh’s 27-13 road loss to the Eagles.
Watt, 30, had two sacks and a forced fumble as well as seven tackles Sunday. He has 11 1/2 sacks this season to reach double figures for the sixth time in his eight-year career.
