Alex Highsmith News

NBC SportsSteelers EDGE Alex Highsmith (pectoral) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 13 against the Bills.

Highsmith has not played since Week 10. Getting him back provides the Steelers' pass rush with a big boost. The Steelers will also have CB Joey Porter Jr. (hip) on the field when they take on the Bills this weekend. Both Highsmith and Porter practiced full on Friday.

NBC SportsSteelers declared QB Aaron Rodgers, LB Alex Highsmith, OG Andrus Peat, DT Brodric Martin-Rhodes and DL Logan Lee inactive for Week 12 against the Bears.

As usual, Rodgers made his status some big drama when it turns out there really wasn't any. It seemed all along that Mason Rudolph would play. We suppose Rodgers supposedly taking things down to the wire bodes well for his odds of missing only one game and returning in Week 13. It goes without saying we will be forced to let you know all about it this upcoming week.
