The Pittsburgh Steelers got OLB Nick Herbig back from injury for their Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks, but OLB Alex Highsmith sustained an ankle injury against Seattle and is doubtful to return. Steelers senior communication director Burt Lauten posted Highsmith’s status on Twitter.

Part of one of the best EDGE duos in the league along with T.J. Watt, Highsmith had a sack last week and is a huge loss for Pittsburgh’s defense.
