Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith left Pittsburgh’s 27-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the first half on Sunday after appearing to suffer an ankle injury. On Monday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport provided an update on Highsmith’s condition.
“Alex Highsmith, who left Sunday’s game with what Mike Tomlin called a high-ankle sprain, is not likely to be placed on IR,” Rapoport wrote on X. “That’s good news, an indication that it’s not as serious as first believed. IR would knock him out four games.”
