Jalen Ramsey Wrist Injury
Steelers Cornerback Jalen Ramsey Faces Uncertain Status For Browns Game With Wrist Injury
Anonymous
Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey is dealing with a wrist injury suffered after Pittsburgh’s win over Cincinnati and was limited during Monday’s walk-through. Coach Mike McCarthy said it is too early to know whether Ramsey can play Thursday against Cleveland, though he expects Ramsey to do everything possible to suit up. His status is a concern for a secondary also managing Brandin Echols, who is in concussion protocol, while Joey Porter Jr. returned to full participation in the walk-through after missing time with a back injury.
Key Points
1
Ramsey was seen wearing a sling on his right arm in the Steelers’ locker room Monday, but the timing of the wrist injury was not clear; he played all 57 defensive snaps against Cincinnati and had not missed a defensive snap in Pittsburgh’s first three games.
2
Through three games, Ramsey had 17 tackles, including two for loss, one pass breakup and one forced fumble. Coach Patrick Graham praised his tackling, veteran presence and input on game plans and in-game adjustments.
3
The Steelers’ secondary gave up 282 passing yards and three touchdowns to Joe Burrow in the win over Cincinnati, adding to the importance of Ramsey’s availability against Cleveland.
4
Tailback Rico Dowdle, who missed the Bengals game with a foot injury, also did not participate in Monday’s walk-through.
