The Pittsburgh Steelers need a lot of help if they are going to salvage anything from this season, and it has to start from within. The most immediate thing that they can do is to simply get healthy, particularly on the edge, as both of their starters were forced out of Thursday’s game.
Fortunately, there has since been good news on both fronts for T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. In the case of the latter, we heard directly from his father, Sam, the night of the game about his status. He said in the wee hours of Friday morning that “Alex will be fine”, and he has “just a bad bruise”.
