‘Hell Of A Teammate’: Cam Heyward Appreciates Injured Jalen Ramsey ‘Sacrificing’ For Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward praised veteran safety Jalen Ramsey on Wednesday for his toughness and dedication. Ramsey has been playing through a broken wrist suffered in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals, sacrificing his health to help stabilize a depleted secondary. Heyward called Ramsey a hell of a teammate whose commitment sets an example across the roster.

Despite wearing a sling and a brace, Ramsey played all 64 defensive snaps against the Cleveland Browns and all 71 snaps against the Indianapolis Colts. The Steelers' secondary is currently missing injured cornerbacks Jamel Dean and safety DeShon Elliott. Writer Josh Carney notes Ramsey has served as a versatile anchor for head coach Mike McCarthy's defense since arriving via a June 2025 trade.
