The Steelers have ruled outside linebacker Alex Highsmith out of the team’s Week 11 game against the Bengals on Sunday.
Highsmith did not practice all this week while dealing with a pectoral injury. He was not listed in the injury rundown given by head coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday, though Tomlin did say that some players dealing with “bumps and bruises” might miss practice time early in the week.
That apparently was not the case for Highsmith. He played 72.6% of the team’s defensive snaps against the Chargers on Sunday, and did not outwardly appear to be injured during the game.
The Steelers have also ruled out cornerback Darius Slay and linebacker Cole Holcomb.
Slay is still in the concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in Sunday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday and was limited on Friday.
Holcomb will not suit up for the third straight week while dealing with an undisclosed illness. Holcomb did not practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and then did not practice on Friday this week. He did not practice at all the two previous weeks.
Steelers left guard Isaac Seumalo is questionable for Sunday.
Seumalo was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing on Friday. His status seems very much up in the air.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed during his Tuesday press conference that he’s optimistic that Seumalo being able to return for Sunday’s game against the Bengals. Seumalo was out for Sunday night’s game against the Chargers due to a pectoral injury.
Seumalo first suffered the pectoral injury in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. He returned to that game once before being eventually ruled out. Two weeks ago, he practiced only on Friday and in a limited fashion, but was able to start the game against the Indianapolis Colts. He played the first half before being ruled out for the rest of the game in the second half.
The Steelers have elevated linebacker Mark Robinson from their practice squad to the active roster for the second consecutive week.
Robinson, the team’s seventh round pick...
