2025 NFL Week 13 Buzz: Vikings Rookie In With McCarthy Out; Eagles Making Changes?

Limited in Wednesday's practice Highsmith (pectoral) was a limited participant in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Optimistic after limited practice Highsmith (pectoral) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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.

Misses practice Wednesday Highsmith (pectoral) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact Highsmith didn't play in last Sunday's win over the Bengals after failing 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.

Ruled out Highsmith (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Highsmith was unable to participate in practice throughout the week due to the pectoral injury he sustained sometime last week. The outside linebacker didn't show any signs of injury in Week 10 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 acquired in Highsmith's absences in Week 3 and Week 4.

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

Impact Highsmith recorded two sacks in Week 10 against the Chargers, and it's unclear when he picked up the pec issue. He'll probably have to return to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play in Week 11 versus the Bengals.
