Tomlin Says Calvin Austin, Jalen Ramsey Could Rejoin Practice This Week After Rehab Progress

Pittsburgh cites aggressive bye-week rehab as reason for optimism about near-term availability.

Overview

  • Both Calvin Austin (shoulder) and Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) were listed as non-participants on Wednesday's injury report.
  • Mike Tomlin said each player may be included later this week in a limited capacity with status handled day-to-day.
  • Their injuries occurred in Week 4 against the Vikings after initial expectations that they could miss multiple games.
  • An upgrade to limited participation by the end of the week could position them for possible Week 7 availability against the Bengals on Thursday night.
  • Potential returns would ease pressure on Pittsburgh's receiving corps and secondary as coaches finalize short-term roster plans.
