Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey revealed Tuesday that his wrist is broken, an injury he suffered against the Bengals, and he's determined to play Thursday against the Browns.
Brooke Pryor (@bepryor): Jalen Ramsey said today that his wrist is broken. On playing vs. Cleveland: "It's just going to be about seeing if I'm able to protect it and also still be myself in a good enough capacity where I feel like if I go out there, I won't be letting any of my teammates down."
Ramsey said the injury happened on the first series of Sunday's game and was hurting throughout. He's since ditched the sling and was wearing a cast on his right wrist at practice, with head coach Mike McCarthy expecting the veteran to do everything he can to be on the field for the short-week matchup.
"It's just going to be about seeing if I'm able to protect it and also still be myself in a good enough capacity where I feel like if I go out there, I won't be letting any of my teammates down," Ramsey said.
His status matters for a Steelers secondary already dealing with depth issues. Ramsey played every snap Sunday, and his availability — or lack of it — will shape how Pittsburgh approaches the Browns on a quick turnaround.
