The Steelers really didn't need another defensive player to be injured on Sunday. Unfortunately for Pittsburgh fans, linebacker Alex Highsmith left the team's Week 2 game vs. the Seahawks in the first half with an ankle injury and is now doubtful to return, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.

Highsmith injured his ankle during Friday's practice, and he appeared to re-aggravate the injury on Sunday.

On the same play, Steelers defensive tackle Isaiahh Loudermilk also suffered an ankle injury and left the field.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
