T.J. Watt sent to hospital with lung issue after experiencing discomfort at Steelers practice facility

T.J. Watt was sent to a local hospital for tests after experiencing lung discomfort at the Steelers' facility.
Watt did not practice Thursday and his Week 15 status vs. the Dolphins remained in question pending tests.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Watt was comfortable and expected to have more clarity after tests.
Watt has appeared in all 13 Steelers games this season with 53 tackles and seven sacks.
Watt recently signed a three-year, $123 million extension, making him the NFL's top non-quarterback earner at the time.
The Steelers lead the AFC North at 7-6, with Baltimore close behind.
If Watt misses time, Pittsburgh must hold the division without its top player.
Watt's next schedule includes Week 15 vs. the Dolphins, followed by games against the Lions and Browns.
The report notes Watt's comfortable condition and ongoing evaluations as tests proceed.
Watt's extension in July was a landmark deal making him the top non-quarterback earner at the time.
