The Pittsburgh Steelers are on a short turnaround this week, having played Sunday afternoon with a pending Week 12 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. That means little time for those banged up to get right, but luckily, the Steelers seem to be in surprisingly good shape (knock on wood).
The only player to have missed Tuesday’s practice — the first of the week — with an injury designation was OLB Alex Highsmith (who was dubbed by HC Mike Tomlin as more likey out than in during his weekly press conference). Given the short week of preparation (which means less time to rest the injury), it always seemed unlikely that Highsmith would be available anyhow.
