The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a major setback in their victory over the Baltimore Ravens, as All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt suffered a leg injury and was unable to return to action. 

After a series of tests, it's been shown that he suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain. The good news is that it isn't an injury that would keep him out long term, but the bad news is that he now may not be available for Pittsburgh's upcoming playoff game. 

Watt's brother J.J., who enjoyed a productive NFL career of his own, posted the following update on his social media account and announced that T.J. will be needing a "couple weeks" off. 

"Best case scenario for TJ.

Grade 2 MCL sprain.
Everything else looks pristine.

Couple weeks of rest/recovery."

Just how big of a setback is this for the Steelers with the fact that Watt is all but officially unavailable for their upcoming playoff game?
