Steelers linebacker Highsmith limited by groin injury
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 12:33 · Archive
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith was limited in practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, while running back Rico Dowdle was limited by a knee injury.
Receiver Ben Skowronek did not practise, sidelined by a calf injury that has kept him out since Week 5. Defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day (triceps), cornerback Jalen Ramsey (wrist) and cornerback Brandin Echols (hamstring) also did not practise.
Safety DeShon Elliott returned as a full participant from injured reserve, while defensive veterans T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward were given the day off to rest. The Steelers practised Wednesday and Thursday in Pittsburgh before travelling to Paris for Sunday's international game against the New Orleans Saints.
Skowronek's continued absence leaves the team short-handed at receiver with Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) and Roman Wilson (finger) on injured reserve.
