Steelers Get Surprising News As Key Playmaker Set To Play Against Browns

Ramsey suffered a hamstring injury during the trip to Ireland. All the reports that came out about him compared his injury to Joey Porter Jr., who missed three weeks. Even though he was listed as questionable throughout Week 6 preparation, nobody outside of the organization really expected him to play, especially with a short week coming up soon as well. 

Hamstrings can be very finicky. There are usually some concerns about rushing a player back from an injury like that. However, the Steelers must clearly feel great about Ramsey's progress after being a full participant in practice on Friday. The walkthrough on Saturday must have also gone very well. In the span of a couple of games, he went from most likely not playing to most likely getting back out on the field already.

Steelers' Secondary Is Finally Healthy

Porter and DeShon Elliot both went down with injuries in Week 1. Since then, the secondary has constantly been mixing and matching where players line up at, since almost everyone was on and off the field at certain times, especially in the cornerback room. Getting Elliott back in Week 3 helped stabilize the safety core, but there were still issues up front. 

Now, the Steelers can go back to their original plan: having Porter and Darius Slay on the outside, Elliott leading a rotation of safeties, and Ramsey bouncing around all over the defense. The bye week must have really helped his hamstring out, as he is ready to go and do what he does best without missing time: make life hard on opposing quarterbacks and roaming the defense.
