Watt rushed once for one yard and a touchdown during the Steelers' 28-14 win over Cleveland on Monday.
What it means:
Watt was on the field for just six offensive snaps Monday, but he scored a rushing touchdown for the first time this season to help lead the Steelers to the win. He rushed nine times for 21 yards and a touchdown while securing all five of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown this season. The 30-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason after spending the last three seasons in Pittsburgh.

Watt carried once for four yards and recorded a one-yard reception in Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
What it means:
The veteran fullback played only five snaps on offense in the win and has yet to see his snap share climb above 10 percent in any of his 11 appearances on the season. He's thus far carried four times for eight yards while adding four receptions for eight yards and a touchdown on four targets.

Watt recorded one carry for one yard while securing all three of his targets for 15 yards during the 2021 regular season.
What it means:
Watt was held without a touch during his first season with the Steelers in 2020, and he played primarily on special teams during the 2021 campaign. Najee Harris established himself as the Steelers' top backfield contributor during his rookie season, so Watt is unlikely to play a significant offensive role in 2022.

Watt has agreed to restructure his contract with the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Networkreports.
What it means:
Watt's restructured deal will free up $880,000 in cap space for Pittsburgh, likely by converting some of his base salary into a signing bonus. Though he didn't handle any carries during his inaugural campaign with the Steelers last season, Watt did play an integral role as a run blocker and special-teams contributor when healthy.

Watt (concussion) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
What it means:
Watt entered the league's five-step concussion protocol after a scary incident during Monday's loss to the Bengals. He's apparently made a quick recovery, working at full speed in practice to start the week, and he'll be in the lineup for the Week 16 matchup against the Colts.

Watt (concussion) has been ruled out for remainder of Monday's contest against the Bengals, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.
What it means:
It was a scary moment early in Monday's contest as Watt's helmet collided with Alex Erickson's knee, leaving Watt motionless on the field for several minutes. He was eventually able to walk off the field with some assistance. He'll now likely enter the league's concussion protocol testing, leaving his status for next Sunday's matchup with the Colts in question.
