Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Out for at least Week 4
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Highsmith (groin) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Highsmith was forced out early during Pittsburgh's win over the Chargers in Week 3 due to a groin injury. Though Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com relays that Highsmith isn't expected to require surgery, the edge rusher's absence will likely span multiple weeks. Nick Herbig should be in line for a starting role opposite T.J. Watt until Highsmith is able to get back on the field.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Sacks Nix in Week 2
Highsmith recorded four solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.
Highsmith recorded his first sack of the year Sunday. He got to Bo Nix for a seven-yard loss late in the first quarter, which forced the Broncos to punt and eventually led to a five-yard touchdown pass from Justin Fields to Darnell Washington. Highsmith registered a career-high 14.5 sacks in 2022, but he has accrued 8.0 sacks over the 19 regular-season games since. He'll look to add to that total in Week 3 against Justin Herbert and the Chargers.
