Alex Highsmith doubtful, Cam Heyward questionable for Steelers on Sunday vs. Bears

November 21, 2025 by Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Shown while making a tackle of the Cleveland Browns’ Quinshon Judkins during a game last month at Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith has a pectoral injury that caused him to miss last week’s win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

It does not appear as if Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith will return to game action this week. And, suddenly, the status of a defensive co-captain for Sunday’s game at the Chicago Bears is in question, too.
