Steelers injury report: T.J. Watt still recovering from lung surgery

The Steelers began a short week of preparation for the Detroit Lions on Wednesday without star pass rusher T.J. Watt.

Watt remains sidelined after having surgery to repair a partially collapsed lung and wasn’t at the game against Miami on Monday night. Linebacker Nick Herbig (hamstring) and guard Isaac Seumalo (triceps) were both injured in the game and missed the first day of practice. Mike Tomlin said both were expected to be limited in the early portion of the week.

The Steelers have one fewer day to prepare for the Detroit Lions in CBS’s late window and could get defensive tackle Derrick Harmon (knee) back for the first time in three weeks.
