Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt was hospitalized and underwent surgery to repair a partially collapsed lung that resulted from a dry needling treatment gone wrong. His brother, J.J. Watt, confirmed the situation, revealing that the injury occurred during a procedure meant to alleviate discomfort. The Steelers star has been ruled out for the upcoming Monday Night Football game against the Dolphins as he begins recovery. The NFL Players Association is aware of the matter and has been in contact with Watt. As the team faces the absence of their key player, fans and fellow athletes, including Myles Garrett, have expressed their support. The event has sparked discussions about the risks associated with dry needling and potential implications for the Steelers organization.
