If Highsmith is unable to go or is limited, the Steelers could call upon rookie EDGE Nick Herbig to work opposite T.J. Watt. Herbig looked very good in the preseason and training camp but has seen limited action through four games.
The Steelers edge rushers struggled against the Houston Texans last week and are looking to bounce back against Baltimore before heading into the bye week.
