Steelers Face Multiple Injuries, Place Veteran DL on Injured Reserve

News summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a challenging training camp with multiple injuries affecting key players across various positions. Outside linebacker Alex Highsmith suffered a groin injury during drills, raising concerns about his availability and increasing the roles of rookies Nick Herbig and Jack Sawyer in the defensive lineup. Cornerback Cory Trice and offensive tackle Calvin Anderson are also expected to miss significant time due to hamstring and lower body injuries, respectively, further straining the team's depth. Defensive lineman Dean Lowry has been placed on injured reserve, effectively ending his 2025 season, leading to the re-signing of Breiden Fehoko to bolster the defensive line. Meanwhile, the team released tight end Kevin Foelsch after a short stint, opting to maintain their existing depth at the position following the return of DJ Thomas-Jones from injury. These setbacks have put pressure on the Steelers' coaching staff to adapt their roster and prepare younger players for increased responsibilities as the season approaches.
