Overview
- Ramsey’s first full game at free safety helped Pittsburgh beat the Colts 27-20, with the defense generating five takeaways and holding the league’s top scoring offense to a season low.
- Tomlin confirmed Ramsey will continue working at safety for now, while coordinator Teryl Austin left the door open to shifting him between positions as team needs evolve.
- The reshuffle followed multiple setbacks at safety, including DeShon Elliott heading to injured reserve and availability concerns for Jabrill Peppers and Chuck Clark, with newcomer Kyle Dugger playing nearly every snap.
- The NFL fined Ramsey $17,389 for a hit on Michael Pittman Jr. that drew a flag for a defenseless receiver, a call Ramsey said he believed was legal because he avoided helmet contact.
- Ramsey described the move as giving him renewed energy and noted it was his first full game at safety since his freshman year at Florida State, and he is slated to start there again against the Chargers on Sunday night.
