Will likely miss time Watt suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain during Sunday's win over the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact There's no definitive timeline for Watt's return, but he's expected to at least miss Sunday's game versus the Titans. While Watt has only played a handful of offensive snaps this year, he's a key special-teams contributor, as he's tied for sixth with three tackles on return coverage this year.

Hit with injury Watt (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The 27-year-old fullback was tagged with a hamstring injury during the second quarter of action, but if feasible, he surely will want to do what he can to return to the game given that his two brothers -- J.J. and T.J. -- are both on the field. Pittsburgh does not have another fullback on the roster, but it's possible tight end Vance McDonald may be able to slide into that position in a pinch should Watt be unable to return.
