Earlier this year, Watson injured his knee and tore his ACL during the final game of the regular season against the Bears. The injury sidelined Watson for the rest of the season, and the wide-out required surgery for the same. While he has mostly recovered from the surgery, Watson is reported to miss the first few games of the upcoming NFL season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are eager to build their offensive line around their newly signed starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was part of the Green Bay Packers for a long time before he moved to the New York Jets. The Jets released Rodgers back in March and the Steelers immediately made a move to bring him into their roster. If Watson does join the Steelers, the move will strategically improve Pittsburgh’s offensive line with Rodgers as QB.
