The (3-1) Pittsburgh Steelers host the (1-4) Cleveland Browns at Acrisure Stadium for Week 6 of the regular season. The team is coming off a much-needed bye last week, during which players rested and recovered from their respective injuries. The secondary was the most banged-up unit, as they haven’t had their ideal starters since Week 1. The Steelers had two players miss at least two games, while a Pro Bowler exited in Week 4.

After faking a hamstring injury on a celebration, Jalen Ramsey actually injured his hamstring in the third quarter of Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Although he briefly returned to the field, the pain was too much, and he sat for the remainder of the game. Ramsey is a key part of the Steelers’ secondary, and they cannot afford him to miss anytime.

Jalen Ramsey sat out Wednesday and Thursday but upgraded to a full participant on Friday, prompting the Steelers to list him as questionable. According to Adam Schefter on Saturday morning, the seven-time Pro Bowler has been upgraded from questionable and is expected to play against the Cleveland Browns. This is a testament to Ramsey’s toughness and his ability to tackle rehab while dealing with a soft-tissue injury.

Will their former 2nd-round pick play?
NFL Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
Joey Porter Jr. suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1 against the New York Jets, sidelining him for the past three games. Porter was a full participant in this week’s practice and doesn’t carry an official injury designation, meaning he’s good to go. For the first time since Week 1, the Steelers’ cornerback room will feature its ideal starting lineup.
