Upgrades to full Thursday Highsmith (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Highsmith was limited Wednesday, but Thursday's full participation suggests Pittsburgh's Week 5 bye provided enough time for Highsmith to recover from an ankle injury that had sidelined him since Week 2. He's set to reprise his usual role Sunday against the Browns as a key piece of Pittsburgh's pass rush, having recorded at least 6.0 sacks in each of the previous four seasons, including 14.5 in 2022.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 • BOLAVIP.COM
Won't play against New England Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters Tuesday that Highsmith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Highsmith suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Steelers' 31-17 loss to the Seahawks this past Sunday. High-ankle sprains typically mean a multi-week absence, though it appears his injury isn't that severe as Tomlin relayed Monday that the 2020 third-rounder is not expected to spend time on injured reserve, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nick Herbig will likely step into a starting role opposite T.J. Watt and Jack Sawyer should see an uptick in defensive snaps in a rotational edge role for as long as Highsmith is sidelined. Highsmith's next opportunity to suit up is Week 4 against the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 28.
