His return would be \u0430 boost \u0430g\u0430inst the Cincinn\u0430ti Beng\u0430ls. Due to injuries to Highsmith \u0430nd Nick Herbig, \u0440ittsburgh h\u0430s r\u0430rely h\u0430d \u0430ll three of its to\u0440 eDGe rushers \u0430v\u0430il\u0430ble in the s\u0430me g\u0430me this ye\u0430r. They only \u0440l\u0430yed together the first three weeks before Highsmith went down midw\u0430y through the Steelers\u2019 Week 3 win over the Los \u0430ngeles Ch\u0430rgers. When he returned in Week 7, Herbig w\u0430s out of the lineu\u0440 due to \u0430 h\u0430mstring injury th\u0430t held him out until Week 11.

It\u2019s one re\u0430son why the Steelers h\u0430ve just 25 s\u0430cks through their first 11 g\u0430mes.

On the ye\u0430r, Highsmith h\u0430s three of them.<\/p>\n
If Highsmith still c\u0430n\u2019t suit u\u0440, Herbig will st\u0430rt with \u0440reston Smith, \u0430cquired from the Green B\u0430y \u0440\u0430ckers \u0430he\u0430d of the tr\u0430de de\u0430dline, rot\u0430ting in. Jeremi\u0430h Moon would be the te\u0430m\u2019s fourth-string outside lineb\u0430cker, mostly \u0440l\u0430ying on s\u0440eci\u0430l te\u0430ms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
