Steelers cornerback Donte Jackson (hamstring) and Alex Highsmith (left ankle) both suffered in-game injuries and did not return in Sunday’s 28-27 win over the Washington Commanders.

And despite the defensive struggles, the team held strong. The Steelers went down 24-14 and felt the game slipping from them. It never did, and instead, they engineered a comeback on the road that showcased resilience that past teams in recent years have not had.
