There’s no doubt that Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey plays with intensity. But a wrist injury has held him back. However, Ramsey got a huge injury update for the game against the Browns on Thursday Night Football, according to a post on X by Jeremy Fowler.
“Steelers corner Jalen Ramsey (questionable, wrist) is expected to play tonight vs. Cleveland, per sources. Broken wrist on three days' rest, and Ramsey still plans to play.”
