Steelers Face Key Injuries After Chargers Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing significant injury challenges ahead of Week 4, notably with pass-rusher Alex Highsmith likely sidelined for up to two weeks due to a groin injury sustained against the Los Angeles Chargers. Highsmith, who has already dealt with a groin issue earlier this season, expressed concern that this injury may be more serious and has undergone an MRI for further evaluation. Additionally, rookie tackle Troy Fautanu has been placed on injured reserve with a dislocated knee, prompting the Steelers to sign experienced tackle Calvin Anderson for depth. Running back Najee Harris is also under observation for an arm injury, which adds to the team's injury woes, including guard Isaac Seumalo and cornerback Cory Trice. If Harris is limited, Cordarrelle Patterson might need to step up as the lead back. Overall, the Steelers' depth will be tested as they navigate these injuries while maintaining competitive performance in the upcoming games.
