The defending Defensive Player of the Year picked up right where he left off, recording a sack and an interception while helping the Steelers achieve a victory to open the season. While it appears to be business as usual for TJ Watt and the Steelers, an unfortunate situation may have changed the mood a bit in Pittsburgh. During the fourth quarter, on a play where Watt was pressuring Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow once again, he injured himself and grabbed his chest. He went to the sidelines, where he was heard saying that he believes he tore his pectoral muscles.

He will undergo tests to determine the exact nature and severity of the injury.
