According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers could be without pass-rusher Alex Highsmith for up to two weeks.

Highsmith suffered a groin injury, the second of his career, during Pittsburgh's win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Similar to 2023, Highsmith has been off to a slow start, having recorded one sack, a pass defended and 11 tackles in three games.

Expect Nick Herbig to get the bulk of the work, with DeMarvin Leal rotating in.
