T.J. Watt was a full participant at practice on Thursday.

Watt will likely enter the weekend off the injury report as he gears up for a game for first place in the AFC North against the Ravens on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt signed a three-year extension to remain in the Steel City, earning $123 million with $108 million guaranteed at signing.

Fantasy Impact

Watt reportedly wanted to become the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL, and he reached that mark for the second time in his career. Making $41 million per year, Watt is locked in until his mid-30s, though it is a worthwhile investment for a team trying to win now. He has the most sacks per game since 2021 at nearly one per game (0.99) while being a fumble-forcing playmaker as an outside linebacker.

The Steelers have not been showing the willingness to trade T.J. Watt.

Fantasy Impact

Watt, who skipped the team’s most recent minicamp, has had multiple teams reach out to Pittsburgh around a potential trade. Watt remains unhappy with his contractual situation, but it appears the Steelers want to make something work in-house between the two sides.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he remains optimistic a new deal gets done with T.J. Watt.

Watt has not reported to mandatory minicamp. "I'm optimistic we're going to get things done because we got two sides that want to get things done," Tomlin said. "When that's going to occur… I do not know.”

T.J. Watt did not report to Steelers minicamp.

Fantasy Impact

Watt continues to seek a new contract from Pittsburgh. This will remain a situation to monitor in the coming weeks as training camp approaches. In his last contract year, Watt did end up reporting to minicamp.
