Alex Highsmith faced a potential setback during the Steelers' recent victory over the Washington Commanders, suffering a non-contact ankle injury. Fortunately, reports indicate that he may only miss 2-3 weeks due to a low ankle sprain, as confirmed by his father on social media.
With Highsmith sidelined, veteran Preston Smith stepped in for his Steelers debut, while backup Nick Herbig is set to return after a hamstring injury. The Steelers, currently leading the AFC North, are gearing up for a crucial matchup against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday.
