At his weekly news conference today, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin will likely not have much to say about the condition of linebacker TJ Watt, who missed last week’s game against Cleveland and will remain on the sidelines for at least three more games with his pectoral muscle injury. Tomlin will very likely have a few things to say about his defense’s inability to stop the Cleveland running game last Thursday night.
The coach will also be asked about the Steelers’ struggling offense, which ranks in the bottom seven of the NFL in 8 of the league’s 21 offensive categories.
The Steelers play the New York Jets this Sunday at Acrisure Stadium.
