T.J. Watt Is OUT, What It Changes For The Dolphins' Game Plan Against The Steelers In Week 15

Miami Dolphins catch a break as T.J. Watt is ruled out for Week 15 with a collapsed lung, but will Nick Herbig step up and disrupt Miami’s game plan? Kyle Crabbs spotlights the dramatic injury updates from both the Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers, analyzing De'Von Achane’s abdomen issue and his expected return with extra protection. The conversation shifts to Pittsburgh’s evolving front seven, the impact of Herbig’s size and skill set, and how Miami’s offensive line could exploit these matchup changes on the edge. Roster moves and coaching shakeups add intrigue as Hayden Rucci rejoins the Dolphins’ practice squad and Miami parts ways with OLB coach Ryan Crow. Kyle Crabbs also breaks down the latest injury reports, outlines potential adjustments in the Dolphins’ rushing attack, and teases his three-round 2026 NFL mock draft focused on revamping the secondary. Can Mike McDaniel’s squad capitalize on these developments and secure a critical win in the Monday night spotlight? 00:00 Locked On Network Sports Update 03:05 "T.J.
