ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reports the Steelers are activating DB Jalen Ramsey off PUP list and he will return to practice on Monday.
Pryor adds first-round OT Max Iheanachor is expected to return to practice on Monday as well.
Ramsey was placed on the PUP list to start camp after suffering a knee injury in mandatory minicamp. The expectation had been Ramsey would be ready for Week 1.
Ramsey, 31, is a former first-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2016. He signed a four-year, $23.35 million contract and was set to make a base salary of $3.63 million in 2019.
The Jaguars picked up Ramsey’s fifth-year option that cost them around $13 million for the 2020 season before trading him to the Rams for two first-round picks and a fourth-round selection.
He signed a five-year, $105 million extension before the start of the 2020 season, before he was traded to the Dolphins, later signing a three-year, $72.3 million deal with the team in 2024.
Ramsey was traded to Pittsburgh ahead of the 2025 season in a deal that included TE Jonnu Smith and S Minkah Fitzpatrick.
In 2025, Ramsey appeared in and started all 17 games for the Steelers and recorded 88 tackles, one interception, three sack, and defended eight passes.
