Steelers injury report: Alex Highsmith, Damontae Kazee cleared; Montravius ​​Adams doubtful

Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith and safety Damontae Kazee have been cleared to return to action, but Montravius ​​Adams apparently suffered a knee injury on Friday and is questionable to play against the New York Jets on Sunday.

Adams was a surprise addition to the official league-mandated injury report on Friday, receiving a “limited participation” designation. He joins rookie receiver Roman Wilson as those on the active roster whose status is in doubt for “Sunday Night Football” at Acrisure Stadium.

Wilson (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday and had a limited presence at training that day and Friday.

Highsmith has missed the past three games due to a groin injury, and Kazee missed last week’s win in Las Vegas due to an ankle injury. Also returning to play Sunday is backup tight end MyCole Pruitt, who has missed the past four games due to a knee injury.

As expected all week, returner/running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle), outside linebacker Nick Herbig (hamstring) and center Zach Frazier (ankle) will not play against New York. No one practiced in any capacity this week.

Also listed as out is reserve offensive tackle Dylan Cook, who started practicing this week after starting the season on injured reserve due to a foot injury.
