NFL regular season nears its end, Steelers' TJ Watt is seen as the favorite to win the DPOY, but injury has made it a closer race

Mike Tomlin kept the door open for each of his injured players to suit up for Saturday's game against the Ravens during Monday's press conference. That list of players includes T.J. Watt, the Steelers star pass rusher who injured his ankle near the end of Pittsburgh's Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Pittsburgh Steelers faltered in a critical divisional matchup as Baltimore Ravens offense capitalized on turnovers and extended drives.

PHILADELPHIA -- Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt went down with an injury against the Philadelphia Eagles.

With the Pittsburgh Steelers playing the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, the game status report came out a day early. There was plenty of bad news on the report but at least one piece of good news.
