UPDATE: Highsmith is questionable to return with a neck injury, per the Amazon broadcast. He’s also being looked at by the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant.
The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered another key injury, this time in Week 14 against the New England Patriots with OLB Alex Highsmith suffering an injury. Highsmith was down on the field and being tended to by trainers after a three-yard New England run inside the Pittsburgh 10 with 14:47 left in the second quarter.
The Steelers came into the game with just Watt, Highsmith and Nick Herbig as outside linebackers who were active and had played for the team with OLB Markus Golden inactive.
