Fans can't help but sympathize with EDGE star Alex Highsmith, who appears to have suffered a serious ankle injury during his team's game about the Washington Commanders.
While the severity of the injury remains unclear, more details regarding Highsmith's availability for the 2024 season will be announced in the coming days. However, the prospects do not look promising.
Highsmith was seen using crutches as he left the Steelers' locker room, suggesting the injury could cause him to miss significant time.

Highsmith recently missed Weeks 4-6 with a groin injury, and backup Nick Herbig is also nursing a hamstring injury. With that in mind, the Steelers are trading away the veteran OLB seems to have been a perfect move.
Smith will make an admirable replacement if Highsmith is forced to miss crucial time, however Nevertheless, we hope for a speedy recovery.
