Groin injury resurfaces Highsmith (groin) was back on the Steelers' injury report Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Highsmith had been dealing with a groin injury during training camp, but he was removed from the injury report ahead of Week 1 and logged 88 defensive snaps over the first two weeks of the season. It's a bit concerning that the 24-year-old's groin injury has resurfaced, but it may just be a minor issue that he has to deal with throughout the season. Highsmith played in all 16 games as a rookie and registered 48 tackles, two sacks and one interception.

Not at practice Thursday Highsmith (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Highsmith was a limited participant in practice earlier in the week and was downgraded to 'did not practice' Thursday. This appears to be a setback, which would put his status for Sunday into jeopardy. If Highsmith is unable to go, Melvin Ingram would likely take the majority of his snaps against Buffalo.
