PITTSBURGH — Earlier this week, Mike Tomlin didn’t rule out Jalen Ramsey being able to play against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ veteran defensive back returned to practice on Friday ahead of that matchup.
Ramsey suffered a hamstring injury during the third quarter of the Steelers’ win over the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin.
“Two guys that we’re watching very closely that certainly are gonna be limited at the front part of the week, but may perk up and be included toward the latter part of the week is Calvin Austin, with his shoulder, and Jalen Ramsey, with his hamstring,” Tomlin said Tuesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. “Both have been highly aggressive from a rehabilitation standpoint during the bye week, and so I’m really encouraged about the potential of those guys, but we’ll take it, certainly, day-to-day.”
Given that Ramsey was on the field on Friday, the door appears to still be ajar.
