The Pittsburgh Steelers have come up in many NFL news conversations over the past week.
A lot of the chatter surrounding the Steelers had to do with T.J. Watt returning to their game against the New England Patriots after suffering concussion-like symptoms.
Fans and analysts were concerned with this quick turnaround with the increased emphasis on player safety, particularly regarding head injuries.
While this move might have raised some eyebrows, Watt set the record straight.
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review via Pro Football Talk, Watt said, “I went through all the steps possible, and it felt like we did everything the right way.”

Despite Watt saying this, there was still the matter of him changing his visor mid-game.
This was the second aspect of this situation that was heavily questioned, including by reporter Chris Adamski.
Watt did respond to this questioning, ultimately saying he wasn’t “going to get into all the specifics and into a debate about it.”
This appears to be the end of the conversation, at least from Watt and the Steelers’ side.
Fans will have to tune in to see if the league has any comments on the situation and whether Watt or the Steelers will be investigated further.
As Watt mentioned, he cannot spend more time discussing this situation as he needs to focus on his upcoming game.
The Steelers take on the Indianapolis Colts this week, a potentially decisive game for the playoff chances for both teams.
Watt is seemingly ready to go in this game, not suffering from any lasting concussion-like effects.
