  • Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Good to go for Week 7

    Highsmith (groin) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

    Highsmith has missed the Steelers' last three games due to a groin injury. He returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, but he was able to practice without restrictions Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Highsmith should reclaim his starting edge-rush role opposite T.J. Watt for Sunday's contest against the Jets.

  • Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Ruled out for Week 6

    Coach Mike Tomlin said Highsmith (groin) will not play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Raiders, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Highsmith will miss his third consecutive game, and with Nick Herbig (hamstring) injured in Week 5 and now ruled out against the Raiders, the Steelers are scraping for edge depth. Jeremiah Moon is next up in line opposite T.J. Watt.

  • Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Unlikely for Week 5

    The Steelers are eyeing an Oct. 20 return for Highsmith (groin), Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

    Highsmith has been sidelined since Week 3 when he suffered the injury against the Chargers and has already been ruled out for this Sunday against the Cowboys. The targeted return date would also have the Charlotte product missing Week 6 against the Raiders and returning in Week 7 against the Jets.

  • Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Remains out

    Highsmith (groin) will not play Sunday against the Cowboys, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Highsmith suffered the injury in Week 3 against the Chargers and was expected to miss multiple weeks. So his absence Week 4, and now in Week 5, isn't entirely unexpected. Nick Herbig should continue taking on a larger role when the Steelers travel to Dallas on Sunday.

  • 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: Doubtful to come back

    Highsmith (groin) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Highsmith left Pittsburgh's game in Week 3 early with a groin issue, and now it appears unlikely he'll be able to get back on the field Sunday. Nick Herbig figures to see an uptick in reps as a result.

  • 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.
