Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Darius Slay has been ruled out for Week 11.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0shared their final injury news on Friday, November 14, ahead of the Week 11 divisional game against the\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n
As always, team reporter\u00a0Teresa Varley broke down\u00a0the injury designations, noting that starting cornerback\u00a0Darius Slay\u00a0(concussion), starting edge rusher\u00a0Alex Highsmith\u00a0(pectoral), and linebacker\/special teamer\u00a0Cole Holcomb\u00a0(illness) will not suit up this weekend. Each was officially ruled \u201cout\u201d in Week 11.<\/p>\n
On top of those three absences, starting guard\u00a0Isaac Seumalo\u00a0(pectoral) and cornerback\u00a0Cory Trice Jr.\u00a0(hamstring\/knee) were both labeled as \u201cquestionable\u201d for the Bengals matchup.<\/p>\n
Seumalo has been in and out of the gameday lineup with a nagging pectoral issue. After missing Week 10, the veteran offensive lineman\u00a0returned to practice on Wednesday. It appears he\u2019ll have a chance to go on Sunday, although it is notable that Seumalo has previously aggravated this injury.<\/p>\n
As for Trice, the former seventh-round pick has\u00a0yet to play in a game\u00a0this year. So, it\u2019s possible that Week 11 will be his 2025 debut.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time Highsmith has missed time this season. The edge rusher was out of the lineup\u00a0from Week 3 through the Week 5 bye, but he\u2019s been healthy ever since.<\/p>\n
Needless to say, another injury has been \u201cfrustrating\u201d for Highsmith.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just frustrating for something like this to pop up because I\u2019m someone who really takes care of my body and does a lot extra to make sure these things don\u2019t happen,\u201d the veteran stated earlier this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just have to continue to rehab,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating because I care and I do a lot. I put a lot of work into my body, so I just have to continue to rehab and get it right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Highsmith also said that he was \u201coptimistic\u201d about playing through this pectoral injury in Week 11, but apparently, that\u2019s not going to happen. Rising pass rusher\u00a0Nick Herbig\u00a0will presumably start in place of Highsmith.<\/p>\n
The Steelers aren\u2019t the only ones with different injuries to manage in Week 11. Cincinnati has its fair share, including star edge rusher\u00a0Trey Hendrickson\u00a0and draft pick\u00a0Shemar Stewart\u00a0(both ruled out), as well as backup running back\u00a0Samaje Perine\u00a0(ruled out).<\/p>\n
The other key injury to watch will be quarterback\u00a0Joe Flacco. With\u00a0Joe Burrow\u00a0still working his way back from injury, Flacco has been key to the Bengals\u2019 success.<\/p>\n
Flacco did not practice on Friday after logging a \u201climited\u201d practice session on Thursday, but he\u2019s still expected to start on Sunday, according\u00a0to Bengals columnist Mike Petraglia.<\/p>\n
Similarly, ESPN beat reporter\u00a0Ben Baby relayed\u00a0the following on Flacco on November 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cA good week for Bengals QB Joe Flacco as he continues to deal with the sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder,\u201d Baby stated.<\/p>\n
He added a quote from Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, who said: \u201cSeemingly, he\u2019s in a better spot this week. I feel very good about him playing on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n
It appears Flacco will at least give it a go in Week 11, although it should be noted that he seems to be playing through an injury.<\/p>\n
By Owen Crisafulli | November 14, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n LOS ANGELES, CA<\/strong> \u2014 The Los Angeles Rams are about to be hit by a bombshell that could change the course of their season \u2014 and it has nothing to do with their play on the field. Alaric Jackson, the Rams\u2019 key starting left tackle, has found himself embroiled in a scandal that\u2019s sending shockwaves through the NFL. A lawsuit was filed on Thursday alleging Jackson secretly filmed a woman during a private encounter \u2014 and now the Rams are scrambling to address the potential fallout.<\/p>\n McVay’s Jaw-Dropping Response to Lawsuit<\/strong><\/p>\n In an exclusive statement, Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed he was \u201cshocked\u201d by the legal drama surrounding Jackson, calling it \u201cthe most bizarre situation I\u2019ve ever dealt with.\u201d McVay, typically calm under pressure, couldn\u2019t hide his concern as he told reporters: “This isn’t just a legal issue, this is personal. I can\u2019t talk about everything, but this is something we\u2019ve been forced to handle privately. Let\u2019s just say, not everything is as it seems.” The comment left many wondering if there was more to this story than meets the eye.<\/p>\n Rams’ Star Tackle Under Fire \u2014 Will He Be Sidelined for Week 11?<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite the lawsuit, McVay hinted that Jackson will still<\/em> start in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, one of the most important games of the season. But insiders suggest the decision might not be that simple. \u201cIf Jackson is distracted or this lawsuit affects him mentally, it could be catastrophic for the team,\u201d an anonymous source close to the Rams told us. \u201cSeattle\u2019s defense could eat him alive if his head’s not in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n Jackson, who signed a massive $57 million extension earlier this year, has been one of the league\u2019s most reliable linemen, but this off-field mess raises serious questions about his future in Los Angeles. And fans are starting to wonder: will McVay\u2019s faith in Jackson cost the Rams a chance at the playoffs?<\/p>\n The Truth Behind the Scandal \u2014 What We Know So Far<\/strong><\/p>\n The lawsuit against Jackson alleges that he secretly filmed a woman during a private moment and later taunted her with the video. The incident comes just a year after Jackson was suspended for violating the NFL\u2019s personal conduct policy. Now, with this new bombshell, could Jackson face even more severe punishment? The NFL has remained tight-lipped, but rumors are swirling that the league may step in again \u2014 and Jackson\u2019s future in the league could be on the line.<\/p>\n Is Alaric Jackson\u2019s Career in Jeopardy?<\/strong><\/p>\n Sources close to the situation claim Jackson is \u201cabsolutely shaken\u201d by the legal battle and that his future with the Rams is uncertain. Will the team stick by their star lineman, or is this the beginning of the end for his career in Los Angeles?<\/p>\n The Rams have yet to make any further comments, but the situation continues to unfold. Could this scandal be the secret weapon Seattle needs to knock the Rams out of playoff contention?<\/p>\n The NFL world is watching.
