It doesn’t come as a big surprise, but OLB Alex Highsmith is not expected to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, per Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith (pectoral) not expected to play vs Bears.
Highsmith was already listed as doubtful on Friday’s injury report, so there wasn’t much of an expectation that he would suit up against the Bears. He also missed last week’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, while he also missed two games earlier this season.
There was no indication that Highsmith was dealing with an injury until he popped up on the injury report last week.
