However, not everyone was feeling his return, as they see concerns in letting him return.
Just keep him on the IR

With Watt being a valuable player, and the Steelers not having much of a chance this season, fans don’t want the franchise defender to hurt himself even further.
While some feel keeping off the field is better, the Steelers feel he’s healthy enough to return.
His return can help give the Steelers defense a boost.
This is something they need, as the team’s offense hasn’t done well under rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett.
They also have issues with the team’s play calling, led by Matt Canada.
While Watt can’t improve the offense, his play on defense can give their offense better field position.
With this, Pickett and the Steelers offense can come to life after looking dead most this season.
