Watt (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Watt did not practice Wednesday but his upgrade to full participant Thursday essentially eliminates any doubts about his ability to suit up for Sunday's divisional clash against the Ravens. The 31-year-old logged just 1.0 sacks in three matchups with the Ravens during the 2024 regular season and postseason.

Rotowire
Watt (toe) did not practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Watt played his normal allotment of snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Bills, recording four tackles on 82 percent of the defensive downs. It's unclear when he picked up the toe issue. On the season, Watt has logged 47 tackles (18 solo), including 7.0 sacks, 17 QB hits, seven pass breakups, including one interception, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 12 contests.
Watt recorded five total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also forcing a fumble in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.
Watt was able to get to the quarterback for the third time in four weeks, recording strip sack of Caleb Williams in the second quarter that caused a fumble which was ultimately recovered for a touchdown by teammate Nick Herbig. The sack was also the linebacker's 115th of his career, passing his older brother J.J. Watt's 114.5 career sacks. On the year, T.J. Watt has compiled 43 total tackles (18 solo), including 7.0 sacks, while also adding an interception, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 11 contests.

Rotowire
Watt recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense during the Steelers' 25-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Watt was responsible for the Steelers' fifth and final sack of the game in the fourth quarter, when he took down Justin Herbert for a three-yard loss that caused the Chargers to punt on the next play. Watt has recorded at least 0.5 sacks in six of his last seven games, and his 6.0 sacks (through nine regular-season games) leads the Steelers and is tied for 15th most in the NFL.
