Season so far
Alex Highsmith has logged just a single game in the 2026 season, making it too early to draw definitive conclusions about his overall campaign. In his lone appearance against Cincinnati in Week 3, he recorded a 57.2 overall grade across 43 snaps, placing him in net-negative territory. His grade was dragged down significantly by a 46.8 run defense mark over nine snaps, where he consistently struggled at the point of attack and was sealed by blockers. His pass-rush grade was respectable at 62.3 across 34 snaps, highlighted by a hit on Joe Burrow, but it was not enough to offset his struggles against the run. With only one game in the books, his week-to-week consistency remains to be seen as more snaps unfold.
