PITTSBURGH -- Steelers pass rusher Alex Highsmith is "fully expected to be back" this week for Sunday's rematch with the Browns, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.

Highsmith neared a return last week, but he didn't practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday and Friday before being inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

While Highsmith is expected to return, the Steelers could be without wide receiver Calvin Austin III, who entered the concussion protocol when he took a hard hit against the Bengals.
