Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end T.J. Watt will miss time with a pectoral injury, but he vows he will return at some point this season. 

Watt posted a Terminator meme on Twitter with the iconic "I'll be back" movie quote, which infers that his injury won't be sidelining him for the remainder of the season, something the Steelers feared initially. 

Watt was supposed to get second and third opinions on his injury on Tuesday, but a report from NFL Network stated that the current belief in Pittsburgh was that he would land on the injured reserve but won't miss the rest of the year.

Despite Watt having to miss time, this would be good news to the Steelers who wouldn’t have to entirely replace the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. 

There is no exact timetable of when Watt would come back, but it could come before the end of October, which "depends on the healing process," per NFL Network.

Watt immediately knew that something had happened to his pec, running to the sideline with a limp left side and telling the coaching staff that he tore it. An MRI was scheduled for Monday, which showed surgery wasn't necessary.
