Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt will not play Sunday<\/a> against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals due to a groin injury.<\/h1>\n

Watt was a limited participant in Friday’s practice but was downgraded Saturday to out for the Week 3 contest<\/a>.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Watt, 26, sustained the injury during the first half of last week’s 26-17 home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The three-time Pro Bowl selection has three sacks, six quarterback hits, seven tackles and two forced fumbles so far this season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Steelers will also be without their other starting OLB Alex Highsmith, also due to a groin injury. Backups Melvin Ingram III and Jamir Jones are expected to start. <\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why @_TJWatt<\/a> got that new contract. #HereWeGo<\/a><\/p>\n
