Player: OLB Alex Highsmith
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: Alex Highsmith returned to practice yesterday for the first time since injuring his groin against the Los Angeles Chargers. He has missed the past two games, and is likely to miss at least a third. But returning in a limited capacity on Thursday, he stands a better chance of playing in Week 7.
Considering the Steelers’ injuries on the edge, they can use Alex Highsmith back sooner rather than later. But they can’t afford to rush him back, already on his second groin injury of the year.
