TJ Watt Lung Injury, WILL HE PLAY?? Steelers vs Dolphins MNF Preview SRP S7-E36-345 12-11-2025
Will T.J. Watt Be Ready? Lung Issue Crisis Ahead of Steelers vs Dolphins MNF Preview
Welcome to the Steelers Realm Podcast! The 7-6 Steelers are hosting the 6-7 Dolphins on Monday Night Football in a vital Week 15 playoff eliminator.
The focus is entirely on the devastating breaking news: T.J. Watt is hospitalized with a lung issue, and his status is IN QUESTION. His absence could turn a manageable defensive matchup into a complete disaster.
🚨 The Watt Crisis & Defensive Void
The Problem: Watt's potential absence is catastrophic. He accounts for 7.0 sacks and much of the defense's pressure. Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig must step up to prevent Tua Tagovailoa from getting comfortable.
Tua's Turnovers: The defense MUST compensate for the missing pass rush by forcing errors from Tua Tagovailoa, who leads the Dolphins' passing attack but has thrown a high 15 total turnovers (14 INTs).
Achane's Challenge: The Steelers' 21st-ranked Rush Defense faces De'Von Achane, who is an elite threat with 1,126 Rushing YDS and 5.8 YPC.
⚔️ Exploiting the Dolphins' Defensive Flaw
The Path to Victory: The offense MUST control the game by running the ball against the Dolphins' 25th-ranked Rush Defense (allowing 131.9 YDS/G and 4.8 YPC).
The Backfield: The dual-threat of Warren & Gainwell needs to dominate the clock and chew up yardage.
Playoff Stakes: A win keeps the Steelers in sole possession of 4th place (AFC North Lead). A loss drops them completely out of the playoff picture.
Drop your score prediction and let us know: How does the Steelers defense survive without T.J. Watt on Monday night?
