Steelers' Highsmith likely out weeks, source says

The Pittsburgh Steelers are bracing for edge rusher Alex Highsmith to miss multiple weeks with his groin injury, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday.

The injury won't require surgery, the source told Fowler.

Coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday ruled Highsmith out for Sunday's game at the Indianapolis Colts.

Highsmith sustained his injury during the first half of Pittsburgh's 20-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3 that improved the Steelers to 3-0.

Highsmith has one sack for the Steelers this season. He has 30.5 sacks for the Steelers since being selected by the team in the third round of the 2020 draft, including a career-best 14.5 in 2022.
