TJ Watt runs up the field.

The NFL Week 15 Injury Report is live. One of the biggest developments this week involves the status of Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt.

NFL Week 15 Injury Report

Watt underwent surgery to repair a partially collapsed lung he suffered earlier this week. According to J.J. Watt, T.J. Watt’s recovery timeline is “TBD.” He will miss Monday’s game against the Dolphins. However, Watt is expected to play again this season.

The Commanders will be without quarterback Jayden Daniels, who reaggravated his elbow in Week 14’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. It’s unknown if the Commanders will shut Daniels down for the rest of the season.

Other notable players on the injury report who have been ruled out include Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion), Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (non-injury related/personal), Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (right shoulder/back), Philadelphia Eagles RT Lane Johnson (foot), and Indianapolis Colts CB Sauce Gardner (calf).
