Overview

• Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports both starters are expected to miss several games, with Ramsey dealing with a hamstring injury and Austin sidelined by a shoulder issue from the Week 4 win in Dublin.
• Ramsey tried to return against the Vikings but was unable to continue, and Austin was evaluated at a Dublin-area hospital before tweeting he was "all good."
• Pittsburgh sits at 3-1 atop the AFC North and is off in Week 5 before hosting the Browns in Week 6.
• Brandin Echols is positioned to step in at cornerback, with Joey Porter Jr. described as nearing a return after limited work last week.
• Ben Skowronek, Scotty Miller, and Roman Wilson are among candidates to cover receiver snaps as Austin exits having logged 10 catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns through four games.
