Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, is set to play against the Cleveland Browns.
Ramsey, who suffered a hamstring strain against the Minnesota Vikings, will suit up, though it is unknown if he will play his full, usual set of snaps. He was a full participant in practice on Friday.
“I never want to miss any type of playing time,” Ramsey said. “I love the game, love to be there for my teammates, so any chance I get to help that, I’ll take the opportunities.”
Ramsey, who has played outside cornerback, nickel cornerback, and safety, is a key piece for the team. With him in the fold, it likely means that Beanie Bishop will not be elevated, despite taking many of the early week reps in practice.
If Ramsey is going to be on a snap count of sorts, then Brandin Echols, who started in place of Joey Porter Jr. for three straight games, could still see a healthy workload.
Ramsey’s inclusion gives the Steelers all of their preseason defensive starters for the first time this season since Derrick Harmon was out the first two weeks with an MCL sprain suffered against the Carolina Panthers in the preseason.
