Just what the struggling Steelers didn’t need. More bad injury news. Reports say linebackers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith are in concussion protocol. Watt reported symptoms when he reported to the team facility for meetings and film study on Friday. The Steelers don’t play again until Saturday when they visit Indianapolis. Watt was injured on the first play of Thursday nights game with New England when he was hit under the chin by the knee of Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott. He returned after missing just a few plays and ended up playing 52 of 57 defensive snaps. Highsmith also left that game in the first quarter with what was reported as a neck injury and did not return.
