Another injury has struck the Pittsburgh Steelers at training camp.
Following Sunday’s practice at training camp, HC Mike Tomlin revealed to reporters that OLB Alex Highsmith had suffered a groin injury.
“The only new injury to mention, Alex Highsmith didn’t finish,” Tomlin said. “Don’t know the severity of it. Over here on the one-on-one pass rush, he stopped. He said he felt, maybe his groin, but we’ll evaluate it and be more definitive next time we talk — not only about the injury but the significance of it.”
Highsmith has previously dealt with several groin injuries in his career, missing one game in 2021 and three games in 2024.
Hopefully, his groin injury isn’t as serious this go-around, but the Steelers do boast incredible depth behind him — underrated pass rusher OLB Nick Herbig and talented rookie OLB Jack Sawyer.
We at Steelers Wire will provide an update on Highsmith when more information on the extent of his injury becomes available — but fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for one part of the best edge-rushing duo in the NFL.
