PITTSBURGH -- Steelers fullback Derek Watt and tight end Eric Ebron were ruled out of Pittsburgh's 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football because of injuries.
Watt went into the locker room in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion after he collided with the knee of Bengals returner Alex Erickson on the first punt return of the game.
"Just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you to everyone for the well wishes and let you know that I'm going to be ok," he tweeted afterward.
