Pittsburgh Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith suffered what appeared to be a pretty bad ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the team’s 28-27 win over the Washington Commanders. After the game, Highsmith was on crutches leaving the locker room, per Chris Adamski of TribLive.

Highsmith appeared to step on the ankle of Commanders’ QB Jayden Daniels as he was chasing him down for a sack in the fourth quarter, and he was in immediate pain on the field and clutching his ankle.
