The Pittsburgh Steelers won an intense battle against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3, but it didn’t come without its costs. Alex Highsmith suffered a groin injury that will keep him out of action for a few weeks. That means people will have to step up in his absence. Nick Herbig will start, but DeMarvin Leal will now be the primary backup. He is a defensive lineman but works in a more hybrid role. It sounds like he has no complaints about that, though.
“I definitely feel a lot more comfortable, just knowing the defense itself,” Leal said Wednesday via the team’s website.
