"It's pretty exciting, isn't it?," Tomlin said with a grin. "Let's see where the roads lead, man, we got a week of prep. ... I'm so excited about the potential of getting Alex Highsmith back and the development of [Nick] Herbig, the acclimation of Preston [Smith]. You can't run out of rush men, particularly in December, and so it's exciting."
Before his three-game absence, Highsmith was playing at a high level when healthy. Against the Giants in Week 8, Highsmith recorded a career-high 12 pressures and two sacks on 38 pass rushes, per NFL Next Gen Stats.
Highsmith has 10 quarterback hits and three sacks in just six games, showcasing his impact on the field even in limited appearances this season.
