Watt and Jackson Return for Steelers-Ravens AFC North Clash

T.J. Watt and Lamar Jackson are both active as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens prepare for a crucial AFC North showdown on Sunday night.

Watt, the Steelers’ star outside linebacker and multiple Pro Bowler, returns after missing the last three games due to surgery for a partially collapsed lung, an injury sustained during a dry needling session. He had limited practice before last week’s loss to Cleveland but fully participated in Friday’s session, expressing hope to help Pittsburgh secure their first division title since 2020.

Jackson, Baltimore’s two-time MVP quarterback, is also back in the lineup after sitting out last week’s win over Green Bay with a back injury. The Ravens aim to complete their comeback after a tough start to the season that saw them at 1-5 and Jackson sidelined for several games due to a hamstring issue.

Steelers left guard Isaac Seumalo, sidelined for two games with a triceps injury, has also returned to the starting lineup.

Several players are inactive for the Steelers, including wide receiver Roman Wilson, rookie running back Kaleb Johnson, cornerback Tre Flowers, linebacker Jeremiah Moon, offensive lineman Jack Driscoll, and rookie quarterback Will Howard.

For the Ravens, wide receivers Rashod Bateman and Keith Kirkwood, cornerbacks Keyon Martin and Amani Oruwariye, offensive tackle Joseph Noteboom, defensive tackle Aeneas Peebles, and quarterback Cooper Rush are inactive.

The winner of this key divisional clash will host Houston in the opening round of the playoffs next weekend.
