The Story in 60 Seconds

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey revealed he suffered a broken right wrist during Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite the injury sustained in the opening series, Ramsey played every defensive snap and stated he hopes to play Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns if he can adequately protect the wrist.

Ramsey's uncertain status comes amid wider instability in the Steelers' secondary. Joey Porter Jr. participated fully in walkthroughs following a back injury, Brandin Echols remains in concussion protocol, and backup defensive backs Doneiko Slaughter and rookie Daylen Everette may see expanded roles.
