Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith won’t play in Sunday’s Week 13 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Officially, he’s one of the team’s five inactives for today’s game. It comes as little surprise after he was listed as doubtful entering the weekend due to an ankle injury suffered late in Week 10’s win over the Washington Commanders.
Highsmith returned to practice on Thanksgiving for the first time since his injury but was always a longshot to suit up. He got in limited sessions during the Steelers’ final two days of practice but has yet to practice in full.
