ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Before the game, Alex Highsmith had a significant question to answer. Could he show up without T.J. Watt and win consistently? If Mondayi s any indication, the answer would be yes, he can.
The week’s talk on the Steelers’ defense concerns Nick Herbig and Markus Golden. Makes sense. T.J. Watt is out, and those will be his replacements. But Alex Highsmith is equally as important to how this defense will function up front while defending the run and trying to get after Josh Allen.
Sometimes, less is more, and that might be the case for the Pittsburgh Steelers top edge rushing duo of T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Watt and Highsmith played 45 and 47 snaps, respectively, last Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals, while backups Markus Golden and Nick Herbig suited up 20 and 17 times.
TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith, the Steelers main pass rushers, are out of concussion protocol and should play Saturday against the Colts. However, the NFL and NFLPA still are investigating if the Steelers followed all concussion guidelines after Watt suffered what appeared to be a head injury in the loss to the Patriots, then came back into the game.
Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith is questionable to return to Pittsburgh’s Thursday Night Football game against the New England Patriots after sustaining a neck injury in the first half.
