Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt is expected to miss time after sustaining hip and knee injuries in Sunday's 16-16 tie with the Detroit Lions.

Watt will reportedly undergo tests on Monday to determine the extent of the injuries and establish a timetable for his return. He is currently listed as week-to-week, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
