Tom Pelissero

Well, first of all, what I can tell you, Kyle, is that there would have been no reason for the Steelers to give any of the type of treatment that Tyrod Taylor was getting five years ago, considering they didn't even practice on Wednesday.

My understanding of the timeline is this.

TJ Watt came into the facility.

on Wednesday morning, which was actually a player's off day.

He was coming in for a lift.

It just felt like he was having some pain.

He actually went through, did his lift, did his workout, then went for his normal treatment, was still having pain, and so they decided to get him checked out.

Initially, they thought maybe it could be a collarbone issue based on where the pain was.

They ruled that out.

They then sent him for x-rays on his rib.

Those came back negative.

They did some additional tests that showed a small issue, like a tiny hole in his lung,

that then needed to be sent to the hospital and fixed.

So at this point, this is not a major issue.

Easy for me to say, it's not my lung, but not any type of a major or long-term issue for T.J.

Watt.

The issue has been fixed.

What he needs now is rest.

That's where, while you never rule out a guy like T.J.

Watt, it does seem unlikely that he's going to be available on Monday.
