What happened to T.J. Watt and how serious is his injury?
So, the T.J. Watt story, Bob, it's a tough one to sort of elaborate much on, other than we hope that T.J. Watt's okay. And I'll read it again. Burt Lawton, Steelers spokesman, put out a statement within the past half hour or so. 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. He will not be at practice today, and his status for Monday night's game versus Miami is in question. Coach Tom will provide more updates at an appropriate time. Then we see a tweet from Adam Schefter, which was worded in such a way that makes you think of what is happening here. Go ahead. So Schefter said, sources, TJ Watt's lung injury occurred during treatment at the team's facility Wednesday.
Watt has been hospitalized since then. So that sounds like he got injured. I don't know.
What updates are available regarding T.J. Watt's condition?
During treatment. During a treatment. Is that possible? I guess. I always thought that something might have triggered this and they were looking at it. I don't know. That's the thing. And I have to be very careful here, but I'm thinking of things like Tyrod Taylor had the lung issue. way back when, when he had cracked ribs. Remember that? And the Chargers gave him a pain-killing injection that wound up puncturing a lung. Do you remember that situation, Bob? Yeah, I do. But who knows what's happening here? I have no idea, but that's a very curious tweet, is it not?
Why is the upcoming game against Miami significant for the Steelers?
It is, and it's better never to speculate on stuff like this. Yeah, and I won't. I won't speculate on it. You just hope he's okay, and even if he has to miss a game or so, that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. It's about health. It always is. Yeah. I just found the Schefter tweet. I mean, you read that and you can't help but think of things. That's all. So, yes, best to TJ Watt. That's the important thing right now at this moment. And we'll keep coming back to that. If we see any updates or anything else from the Steelers, we'll do that here on Pomp and Joe. Fan Twitter brought to you by South Hills Kia Peters Township.

I mean, it's Thursday and we've barely talked about a game that I think because it's big for Miami. So when you look at it with a wider lens, this is a bigger game than I think most people would have anticipated even a few weeks ago because suddenly Miami is in the playoff picture, right? Yes, they are, and if they win, they're going to jump right into smack dab the middle with three games left.
They'll be 7-7, and that is good enough to put you right in the middle of it. Are you in any way a believer in Miami? I'll say this. I'm shocked that they're here. I don't care what their schedule is. I thought their coach would be fired. I thought they'd be losing games by blowout scores. They would quit, that it was all falling apart.
How has Tua Tagovailoa performed in cold weather games?
And even if all they've done in this win streak, well, I mean, they began the win streak by crushing the Bills. But if all they've done since then is beat the Commanders, Saints, and Jets, okay, I get that. People aren't overly impressed. But it's not what I thought would happen to them when they were sitting there at 1-6. In fact, I was shocked that the coach was still there then. Well, listen, they were sellers at the trade deadline, Joe. That's all you need to know. They were sellers. And now all of a sudden, what's happened? They've won four in a row. And five of six. Five of six. So what they've done is they went from two and seven, I think it was, to where they are at six and seven now. And if they win this Monday, they're going to put themselves right in the middle of everything.
because everything is jambled up with these teams.
What are the expectations for Cam Heyward this season?
I don't know how their tiebreakers work, but they have a lot of momentum on their side, so this will not be easy given the way they have played of late, which is sound defense and running the ball very efficiently.
