To this point, All-Pro pa s rusher hasn't taken part in a single se sion. Head coach Mike Tomlin noted on Saturday that Watt has been "working hard with our trainers" but didn't divulge further when he may get back on the practice field. However, defensive coordinator Keith Butler said that he doesn't expect to see Watt back until he comes to terms on a contract extension with the Steelers that makes him one of the league's highest-paid edge rushers."That's none of my busine s," Butler said when asked about Watt's return, via .

Whenever he signs his extension, Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey the 26-year-old has a chance to set the market at the position.

"You kind of lose some flexibility in terms of what kind of contract you can sign. So, I don't blame him for that. I hope they get it done. As a former player rep for the players' a sociation when I came out, I've always been for the players. I struck twice for the players. I knew I wasn't going to get the money that they get. I want them to make as much money Ty Summers Jersey as they can in this league. I think they deserve it."Last season, Watt led the NFL in sacks (15) and finished second in the Defensive Player of the Year voting, only losing out to superstar . Through four seasons, Watt has 49.5 sacks and 59 tackles for a Kenny Clark Jersey lo s.
