Steelers’ Pass Rusher Alex Highsmith Identified As One Key Player That Needs More Playing Time Across NFL

Having a three-headed monster at outside linebacker has helped the Pittsburgh Steelers try their best to keep Melvin Ingram, T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith relatively healthy early in the season.

Though Watt and Highsmith are dealing with groin injuries, the Steelers have been able to rotate all three in and out early in the season, and even threw second-year linebacker Jamir Jones into the mix late in the game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2.

That said, Bleacher Report listed Highsmith as the one key player on the Steelers that needs more playing time.
