The Steelers brought in Jalen Ramsey to carry out a diversity of roles, but with Joey Porter Jr. ailing, will they have to adapt? DC Teryl Austin doesn’t think so. With Porter dealing with hamstring tightness and not practicing, his status for Sunday is unclear. But that won’t prevent them from using Ramsey in the manner they intended, thanks to Brandin Echols.
Asked on Thursday about Porter’s injury and whether Echols could step in to allow them to continue to move Ramsey around, Austin said they “Absolutely” will retain their full capabilities in that regard, via the Steelers’ media department.
