PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Steelers will have to try to protect their AFC North lead without T.J. Watt. The perennial All-Pro outside linebacker is recovering from a partially collapsed lung and will miss a Monday night visit by Miami. Nick Herbig and rookie Jack Sawyer will see increased playing time alongside Alex Highsmith with Watt sidelined. Herbig has shown flashes of brilliance this season. His 6 1/2 sacks rank second on the team behind Watt’s 7. Herbig says replacing Watt is impossible but added that he and Sawyer will do what they can to honor him with their play.

DENVER (AP) — Micah Parsons is believed to have suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. That’s according to a person with knowledge of the All-Pro pass rusher’s injury who spoke to The Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the severity of the injury hasn’t been confirmed by test. Parsons tells the AP in a text that he’s “sickened.” Parsons’ injury is a devastating blow to the Green Bay Packers, who lost 34-26 to Denver on Sunday. The Packers fell to second place behind the Chicago Bears in the NFC North.
