Steelers' Alex Highsmith to Miss Multiple Weeks Due to Groin Injury

Pittsburgh's edge rusher will avoid surgery, but the team faces depth challenges ahead of Week 4 against the Colts.

Alex Highsmith suffered a groin injury during the Steelers' Week 3 win over the Chargers and will be sidelined for several weeks.
Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Highsmith's absence and indicated that the injury does not require surgery.
Second-year linebacker Nick Herbig is expected to start in Highsmith's place, with DeMarvin Leal potentially seeing more opportunities.
Running back Najee Harris is cleared to play without limitations, while Jaylen Warren's participation remains in question due to a knee injury.
Starting guard Isaac Seumalo is working his way back from a pectoral injury and may return against the Colts, with backups Spencer Anderson and Mason McCormick continuing to get practice reps.
