Steelers Lock In Jalen Ramsey at Safety After Week 9 Turnaround

Mike Tomlin cites a depleted safety group, with newcomer Kyle Dugger now in heavy use.

Overview

  • Tomlin said Ramsey will work exclusively at safety this week as Pittsburgh prepares for the Chargers.
  • Ramsey shifted to the back end against the Colts due to absences at safety and logged roughly 99% of snaps with five tackles.
  • Kyle Dugger, acquired from the Patriots last week, played all but one defensive snap in his Steelers debut and received a game ball.
  • Pittsburgh generated five takeaways that produced 24 points in a 27–20 win over Indianapolis.
  • Teammates credited a pregame hotel-room address by Ramsey, with Aaron Rodgers saying the speech changed the team’s energy.
