Good morning and welcome from the baseball card castle in Cranberry. Coming to you live here. You should stop down and say hello. It's a Donnie football Friday. Donnie football to my right. With an unbelievable sweatshirt that I somehow didn't notice. And I've been talking to you for 15 minutes. 1995 AFC champion Steelers on their way to the Super Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium. Limits to my left with a Steelers. Is that also an AFC championship jacket? It's just a Steelers Super Bowl jacket, Joe. Yeah. Wow. This is incredible.
Donnie Football 0:36
And Joe, we have your own trading cards.
Joe Starkey 0:38
Yeah, where are yours, Donnie, is the immediate question. Look at this. Look at this. Joe Starkey Trading Cards. I don't think anybody would trade for one of them, but in name they are trading cards. You should stop out and join us at the Baseball Card Castle today. We're supporting the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank this holiday season. Ways to support.

We have a jar here, so to speak, that you can just drop in and drop your donation and say hello to Donnie and I. The big news this morning, of course, and yesterday, is TJ Watt. And I think the latest update, as far as I know, Sean, don't call me, Seth Meyers, back at the home studio, is from Tom Pelissero.
Joe Starkey 1:34
So why don't we just take a listen to that, Sean, and then go from there.
Tom Pelissero 1:39
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.
Tom Pelissero 2:15
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.
Joe Starkey 2:46
All right, part of that got cut off a little bit from us here. We're experiencing some technical difficulties, but I think we're up and running now. What I heard there was a little hole in the lung. Did you hear that, Donnie?
Donnie Football 3:00
And the other important thing to me is that what we heard at the very end, that it would be highly unlikely that he plays on Monday.
Joe Starkey 3:06
And also not any type of major or long-term injury. Sean, is there any way you could put that up one more time? Because I'm not sure how many people maybe got cut off other than us for a minute there. I can absolutely do that for you guys.
Tom Pelissero 3:22
