Kimberley A. Martin and Jeff Saturday expect Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will do whatever he can to play vs. the Bears. (1:11)
PITTSBURGH — The Steelers defense will be closer to full strength as they take on the Chicago Bears and quarterback Caleb Williams. Both defensive tackle Cam Heyward and cornerback Darius Slay were upgraded from their previous game designation of questionable and no longer have a designation for Sunday's game.

Pittsburgh Steelers Star Doubtful for Bears Game
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers will prepare to be without the services of Alex Highsmith, marking a possible continuation of the linebacker's journey back from injury.
Highsmith was listed as a limited participant in the Steelers second practice of the week leading up to their matchup against the Chicago Bears, which boded well for his eventual return.
Now Highsmith is listed as Doubtful according to the team, with a return possible but unlikely.
Highsmith suffered an injury during the Steelers game against the Indianapolis Colts after logging a combined eight pressures and four sacks across the previous two games.
The recent injury issues for Highsmith are not a typical occurence for the linebacker. Across his first four seasons in the NFL, Highsmith did not miss a single game in which he was slated to start. Now, Highsmith has been unable to stay on the field in his fifth season, with a missed game tally of six games across 10 possible appearances.
