Steelers edge rusher Alex Highsmith is waiting to find out the severity of the groin injury that knocked him out of Sunday’s 20-10 win over the Chargers.
Highsmith told reporters at the team’s facility on Monday that he went for an MRI. Highsmith also dealt with a groin injury this summer and said, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, that he felt something “different” happen while he was trying to track Justin Herbert down for a sack on Sunday.
Nick Herbig saw more playing time across from T.J. Watt with Highsmith sidelined and he had a pair of sacks during the win, so the Steelers likely feel comfortable rolling with him if Highsmith has to miss more time.
Highsmith had 10 tackles and a sack in the first two weeks of the season. He had one tackle before leaving on Sunday.
