Alex Highsmith

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Alex Highsmith (ankle) is “fully expected to be back” for Pittsburgh’s Week 14 game against the Browns.

Highsmith has missed three games with the ankle injury, matching the three games he missed from Weeks 4-6 with a groin injury. He somehow avoided injured reserve both times. Highsmith has three sacks in six games, along with 10 quarterback hits, and should be a boost for Pittsburgh’s pass defense against Jameis Winston.
