Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Remains out

Highsmith (groin) will not play Sunday against the Cowboys, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Highsmith suffered the injury in Week 3 against the Chargers and was expected to miss multiple weeks. So his absence Week 4, and now in Week 5, isn't entirely unexpected. Nick Herbig should continue taking on a larger role when the Steelers travel to Dallas on Sunday.
