Impact Watt underwent surgery Thursday to repair a partially collapsed lung, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, and he's since been released from the hospital. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Watt will require rest and recuperation before being cleared for a return to the starting lineup. As such, his status for Week 16 against the Lions will also need to be monitored. With Watt slated to miss his first game of the season on Monday night, expect Nick Herbig to handle a starting role on defense versus Miami.

Looking unlikely for Monday Watt had a tiny hole in his lung repaired after being taken to a hospital Thursday and appears "unlikely" to play Monday against the Dolphins, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact According to Pelissero, the lung issue isn't viewed as a long-term concern, but Watt will need to rest up and recuperate from the recent operation before being cleared to return to game action. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that Watt was "comfortable" after getting the lung issue addressed, but noted that the star edge rusher's status for Monday's game was "up in the air." However, unless Watt returns to practice by Saturday, he would seem to be a long shot to play Monday. If Watt ends up missing his first game of the season, Nick Herbig would likely move into a starting role at outside linebacker in his stead.
