Steelers Rule Alex Highsmith Out vs. Bengals

The Steelers have ruled Edge Alex Highsmith out for Sunday's game against the Bengals with a pectoral injury that kept him out of practice all week. That damages the Pittsburgh pass rush, but Nick Herbig has filled in effectively in the past and will start opposite T.J. Watt. He's worth a look where available on waivers in IDP leagues.
