Optimism about status Head coach Mike Tomlin is optimistic about Watt (knee) being able to play Sunday against the Saints, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Watt was designated to return from IR on Oct. 26, but he was held out of Week 8's loss to the Eagles. However, after a Week 9 bye, it appears Watt is still trending in the right direction and has a chance to play Sunday against the Saints. The potential return of the reigning Defensive Player of the Year will certainly be a boon to the Steelers' defense if he can play.

Won't be activated ahead of Week 8 Watt (knee) won't be activated off injured reserve ahead of Week 8, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Watt was designated to return from IR and returned to practice Wednesday, but he'll remain sidelined for a seventh straight contest while rehabbing from a torn pectoral and arthroscopic knee surgery. The decision not to rush Watt back for Sunday's matchup against the undefeated Eagles makes sense given the Steelers' Week 9 bye. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year's next chance to suit up will come Nov. 13 against the Saints.

Not ruling out Week 8 return Watt (knee/pectoral) has not ruled out playing Sunday against the Eagles, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Watt has been on injured reserve since Sept. 15, but he has a chance to return in Week 8 against the Eagles. He said Friday that he's "not sure yet" if he will play in the contest, as he wants to see how his body responds to being a participant at practice. It seems unlikely Watt will be able to go versus Philadelphia, but his mindset bodes well for a potential return in Week 10 after the Steelers' bye week.

Designated to return from IR Pittsburgh designated Watt (knee/pectoral) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Watt returned to practice Wednesday, starting a 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year tore his left pectoral during the season opener and was placed on IR, but he also underwent an arthroscopic knee surgery during his time away, delaying his potential return. Regardless, Watt is nearing the end of his rehab and will start gearing up for game action. Given the extended time he's missed without practicing, Watt appears unlikely to make it back for Sunday's game against the Eagles, and with the Steelers on bye in Week 9, a return to the lineup Week 10 for a Nov. 13 matchup with the Saints looks like the most plausible outcome.
