PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson popped up with a quadriceps injury on Wednesday and did not practice. Jefferson was not mentioned by head coach Mike Tomlin as injured on Tuesday, which could speak to the injury being minor.

The Pittsburgh Steelers came out of Sunday's win over the Washington Commanders with a huge win. They also came out of it with a huge injury. Starting outside linebacker Alex Highsmith went down with an ankle injury suffered trying to sack Commanders quarterback

The Pittsburgh Steelers seemingly dodged a bullet after a scary-looking injury to pass rusher Alex Highsmith. That being said, he was quickly ruled out for this week's massive game against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Week 11 showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will center around these AFC North rivals jockeying for position atop the division standings. That said, Diontae Johnson squaring off against his former team is one of the more intriguing side-stories of this head-to-head bout.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin may or may not have taken a shot at Diontae Johnson of the Baltimore Ravens when Tomlin said on Tuesday that the Ravens have "got more significant pieces with larger roles that are occupying my attention at this part of the week" than the former Pittsburgh wide receiver.
