Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Looking likely to return Sunday
Highsmith (pectoral) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Highsmith has missed Pittsburgh's past two contests due to a pectoral injury. He was limited in practice Wednesday, but with a full session under his belt Thursday, a Week 13 return seems to be in order. Highsmith has tallied 5.5 sacks over seven games this season.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Highsmith (pectoral) was a limited participant in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.
Highsmith has missed the past two games with a pectoral injury but managed to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. The 28-year-old will look to make his return to the lineup during Sunday's matchup versus the Bills.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Not playing Week 12 as expected
Highsmith (pectoral) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Highsmith drew the doubtful tag for Sunday's game due to a pectoral injury and, as expected, he will miss a second consecutive game. He was able to end the week with back-to-back limited practices, so he should have a better chance at being available for the Steelers' Week 13 clash against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 30. Nick Herbig and rookie fourth-rounder Jack Sawyer will see more work at edge rusher opposite T.J. Watt in Highsmith's absence.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Unlikely to play vs. Chicago
Highsmith (pectoral) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Highsmith ended the week with back-to-back limited practices, and while there was optimism he could return from a one-game absence, his doubtful tag means he's facing an uphill battle to play Sunday. Highsmith's absence would mean that Nick Herbig and rookie fourth-rounder Jack Sawyer would be slated for more edge-rusher snaps on defense opposite T.J. Watt.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Optimistic after limited practice
Highsmith (pectoral) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Highsmith's making progress after missing Pittsburgh's Week 11 win over the Bengals and subsequently being listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. Per Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Highsmith said after practice Thursday that he's progressing well in his recovery and feels optimistic about his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Bears.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Misses practice Wednesday
Highsmith (pectoral) did not practice Wednesday.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Highsmith was expected to be a limited participant in practice this week, but Wednesday wasn't that day for the edge rusher. Highsmith missed last Sunday's win over the Bengals, and his status for Week 12 against the Bears appears to also be in question.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Will be limited in practice
Highsmith (pectoral) is expected to be a limited participant in practice this week, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Highsmith didn't play in last Sunday's win over the Bengals after he failed to practice all last week. Prior to going down with his injury, Highsmith was filling up the box score, posting 4.0 sacks across Weeks 9 and 10. Getting Highsmith back in the lineup would be a big boost to a Pittsburgh defense that has started to turn a corner in recent weeks.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Ruled out
Highsmith (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Highsmith was unable to participate in practice throughout the week due to the pectoral injury he sustained during the Week 10 matchup with the Chargers, though the outside linebacker didn't show many signs of injury after recording 2.0 sacks against Justin Herbert. With the 28-year-old unable to suit up, Nick Herbig is in line to gain an increased snap share similar to what he logged in Highsmith's absences in Week 3 and Week 4.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Dealing with pec injury
Highsmith (pectoral) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Cleared for Week 10
Highsmith (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Highsmith sustained an ankle injury in Week 2 against Seattle, and it appeared to have been aggravated for the first time since Week 6. Since returning from his first ankle injury, Highsmith has logged 13 tackles (seven solo), including 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and added one pass defensed. The 28-year-old linebacker managed to log a full practice Friday and fend off an injury designation, meaning he is set to suit up for Sunday's game.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Limited in practice Thursday
Highsmith (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Highsmith first hurt his ankle in Week 2 against Seattle and has been managing the issue off and on since. He's been able to suit up in each of Pittsburgh's past four contests but didn't practice this Wednesday ahead of Thursday's limited session. It's possible that the Steelers are simply managing Highsmith's practice reps, but if he's unable to log a full session Friday, he could enter the weekend with an injury designation for Sunday's clash against the Chargers.
