Route 19 in Peters Township. Limits, you want to give us a time check? I would love to give you a time check, Joe. It is 1.39. The time is brought to you by Lynch Golf Sales at Pine Creek, the best golf store for all your Christmas gifts.
It's also time for What's Cookin', brought to you by your local Geico rep, Tim Hester. Thank you, Mr. Hester. Very kindly, let's bring on Jeff Hathorne, our sports director. Jeff. This T.J. Watt story is obviously front and center here. Burt Lawton over at the Steelers putting out a statement that T.J. is in a local hospital for further medical evaluation of his lung after experiencing discomfort at the practice facility Wednesday. So no practice today, status for Monday uncertain. And then Adam Schefter, I don't know if you saw this tweet. Limits, can you read that to Jeff if you have it there? Yeah, Jeff, so what Schefter said is that the injury occurred during treatment at the facility Wednesday. Anything you're hearing over there, Jeff?
No, and I would say this. We were all blindsided by it. We were actually all sitting in the interview room, and the first person just went, are you kidding me? Because they saw the first tweet. We did not know. None of us knew anything had happened with TJ. Obviously, they didn't practice well. yesterday, so we were not over here, and there wasn't anything post-game. I mean, he talked post-game. There wasn't anything that led you to believe there was any type of issue, and we hope to find out some more information after practice, but I don't think much more is going to come until they have a little better feeling on how TJ's doing. I was trying to figure out, Jeff, that there was a hit or something that he may have sustained in that Baltimore game that could have been a part of this, but then
nothing comes to mind did anything come to mind for you no no and we're we're all kind of collectively putting our heads together trying to think of a play or a moment or um you know it could it be that he was outside you know it's cold but it wasn't as cold in baltimore like we we just there wasn't anything that was obvious of like okay this is where it happened or it might be from this it's just uh It's just a surprise, and I think there's a little bit of a collective shock about what has happened, and obviously we all hope that he's going to be okay. Well, Jeff, it's turning into a big game Monday night because, as I was saying to Bob, even nationally, the Dolphins somehow are in it here. And it's still a game, though, that the Steelers should win, right?
Like, how much do you believe in the Dolphins? I mean, and I know you've correctly pointed out a lot of Buffalo's flaws, but, I mean, on this winning streak, that's one of the teams that they went through. I think what's scary about what Miami does is what the Steelers have struggled to do, which is stop the run. They run it so well. And they have played, obviously, I thought this was going to be a team that was going to end up with three wins. You know, they look like a disaster at the beginning of the season. And to their credit, they put it together. They're playing. I don't think they're a really good football team, but they're playing good football right now. And the Steelers need to find a way.
I mean, and this is way speculating, but if TJ can't play and if Harmon can't play, Those are two key players that they're going to be without against this Miami team. I think Malik Harrison, when he got injured last week too, Jeff, that was a bigger loss than what people were led to believe.
