According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Pittsburgh Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith will play in today’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Highsmith entered today’s game questionable with a groin injury he tweaked at the end of Wednesday’s practice. He did not practice Thursday before getting in a limited session Friday and ending the week questionable.
He told reporters he expected to play and appears poised to suit up. The Steelers’ starting ROLB, Highsmith has one sack this season with multiple pressures. Should he be on any sort of snap count, veteran Markus Golden and rookie Nick Herbig could see more time.
Also, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, QB Kenny Pickett will play but won’t have full mobility due to a bone bruise in his left knee.
“He’s not 100 percent from a mobility standpoint,” Garafolo said.
Pickett was injured in Week Four’s loss to the Houston Texans. He practiced fully Thursday and Friday and will get the start this afternoon versus Baltimore. Kickoff is set for 1 PM/EST.
