Alex Highsmith not at practice
Pittsburgh Steelers LB Alex Highsmith (illness) is not participating in practice Wednesday, June 3, because of an illness.
Sun Apr 19 10:50
Nick Herbig, Alex Smith could be traded
Pittsburgh Steelers LBs Nick Herbig and Alex Highsmith are candidates to be traded during the 2026 NFL Draft because of the team's surplus of pass rushers, in the opinion of Yahoo! Sports' Charles Robinson. However, it is unlikely that both players get dealt, with Highsmith being the likelier of the two to wind up elsewhere next season.
