Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt (lung) has provided optimism for head coach Mike Tomlin for Week 18. 'We'll work him up over the course of the week and let the amount of participation and quality of participation be our guide,' Tomlin said. 'I'm more optimistic than I've been in previous weeks.'
| Footballguys view: Watt has not played since a Dec. 7 victory over Baltimore, after a procedure to close a small hole in his lung. Watt practiced in a limited capacity last week, but that was not enough for the club to put him on the field against the Browns in Week 17. Tomlin said he's not concerned about Watt not being in "football shape" despite his three-game absence. Tomlin noted he's willing to use Watt circumstantially instead of his usual full-time role if necessary. "I'm open to utilizing him in any way that's appropriate relative to his availability," Tomlin said. |

Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery Monday, Dec. 29, to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: Parsons posted a snapshot of himself in a hospital gown to his Instagram story on Monday morning with the caption "see y'all soon, love y'all." He tore his ACL in the team's Week 15 loss to the Broncos. As Profootballtalk.com noted, surgery is a significant first step, but that rehab process is expected to run into the summer, and it will be some time before there's a concrete timeline for Parsons' return to full football activities. |

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers LB Fred Warner (ankle) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a dislocated and fractured ankle, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. However, a return to the field during the postseason appears unlikely, unless the team reaches the NFC Championship Game or Super Bowl LX, according to multiple sources. Any potential playoff appearance would probably be in spot duty, since an early return could put Warner at risk of further injury.
