The Pittsburgh Steelers have held their second practice of the week in preparation for their Week 4 road trip to take on the Indianapolis Colts. Wednesday’s practice report was a particularly busy one, with several starters out, including LB Alex Highsmith and TE MyCole Pruitt, both of whom also missed Thursday’s practice and were unofficially announced as “out” in Mike Tomlin’s weekly press conference.
Highsmith out will put second-year OLB Nick Herbig in line for a significant uptick in snaps. In Week 3, Herbig managed a forced fumble and two sacks to help put a stamp on a dominant defensive win.
