Alex Highsmith will miss the upcoming game against the Ravens due to an ankle injury sustained while pursuing a quarterback in the fourth quarter of the Week 10 victory over the Commanders. His condition is considered "week-to-week," and he was seen using crutches and a walking boot after the game. Highsmith has recorded 24 total pressures and three sacks this season and previously missed several games due to a groin injury. His absence is a significant loss for the Steelers, but the potential return of Nick Herbig and the addition of Preston Smith could help mitigate the impact on the defense.
