The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without outside linebacker Alex Highsmith for their upcoming AFC North matchup against the Baltimore Ravens due to an ankle injury. Highsmith twisted his ankle late in a recent victory over the Washington Commanders and is considered 'week to week.' This marks the second time this season he has missed games due to injury. Coach Mike Tomlin expressed confidence in the team's ability to adapt, with Nick Herbig or newly acquired Preston Smith likely stepping in for Highsmith.

• Highsmith's absence is a significant blow to the Steelers' defense.
• The Steelers are in a crucial stretch of games against division rivals.
