Steelers LB T.J. Watt Nearly Injured in Pool Accident

A scary moment for Pittsburgh Steelers fans to watch.

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt gave everyone a scare when he posted a video on social media of him falling into a pool and nearly hitting both his leg and head in a dangerous incident. 

Watt posted a video of him cleaning the pool when he misstepped and fell in. Luckily, he announced he's fine after the fall, but you can see just how close he comes to hurting himself when it happens. 

Luckily, his brother J.J. was able to provide some comic relief to those who couldn't help but notice how close the situation was. J.J., who's been known to crack a joke about T.J. in the past, didn't hold back with this one. 

Without Watt, the Steelers have struggled, going just 1-10 when the former Defensive Player of the Year isn't on the field. So, for an incident to happen off the field, it has to be a little scary for those in the front office to learn about. 

Maybe Art Rooney II could send someone over to clean Watt's pool for him next time. Just to make sure everything goes swimmingly.
