Steelers Player to Watch
LB T.J. Watt. The three-time NFL sack champion has gotten to the quarterback just 6 1/2 times through his first eight games, a modest pace for the perennial All-Pro. Yet with Alex Highsmith fully healthy after missing three games with a groin injury, backup Nick Herbig potentially available after a hamstring issue and veteran Preston Smith arriving in a trade with Green Bay, Watt in theory could get a little more rest on early downs, freeing him for more pass-specific situations.
Commanders Player to Watch
WR Terry McLaurin. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels connected with McLaurin just twice at New York, but each time was a touchdown. Daniels has done a nice job mixing and matching the other receivers among Noah Brown, Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus, but McLaurin gets the ball when the stakes are high. McLaurin had five catches for 125 yards two games ago against Chicago, so Daniels is not afraid to go to him often when the defense allows.
Key Injuries
