PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers will head into their AFC North showdown against the rival Baltimore Ravens without outside linebacker Alex Highsmith.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Highsmith is "week-to-week" after Highsmith twisted his left ankle late in a 28-27 victory over Washington on Sunday. Highsmith sustained the injury while chasing down Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels in the fourth quarter.
This is the second time this season Highsmith has missed time. A groin injury forced him to sit out three games earlier this season.
Highsmith will be replaced in the starting lineup by either Nick Herbig or Preston Smith, who was acquired last week in trade with the Green Bay Packers.
