Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Highsmith (ankle) won't play in Week 11 versus Baltimore, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Tomlin also said that Highsmith was "week-to-week," suggesting the ankle injury he suffered in Week 10 at Washington isn't exceedingly severe. While he's out, 2023 fourth-rounder Nick Herbig could step into a starting role on the edge.

Highsmith injured his left ankle late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Highsmith was spotted on crutches following Sunday's win after suffering an ankle injury, per Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com. Highsmith will undergo further testing on his ankle, though it looks like he is in serious jeopardy of missing the Steelers' Week 11 contest against the Ravens. If that were to be the case, Nick Herbig or the newly acquired Preston Smith would get the start at outside linebacker opposite T.J. Watt.

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.

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.

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.
