How serious is Alex Highsmith’s ankle injury?
While the Pittsburgh Steelers gave up 27 points, and the defense deserved the vast majority of the blame for it, they made the necessary plays down the stretch. Particularly after taking the late lead, all phases contributed to preserving it. Unfortunately for OLB Alex Highsmith, it cost him an ankle injury.
The fifth-year veteran is having the unluckiest season of his career, having already suffered two groin injuries. While pressuring Commanders QB Jayden Daniels late, Highsmith suffered his third injury. He inadvertently stepped on Daniels’ feet with his own left foot, severely twisting his ankle.
