Short at safety thanks to multiple injuries and illness, Jalen Ramsey’s role will shift to cover the Pittsburgh Steelers’ last line of defense in Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. Speaking with Steelers.com’s Bob Labriola in their weekly pre-game interview, Mike Tomlin confirmed Ramsey will exclusively play safety in today’s game.
“We moved Jalen Ramsey exclusively to safety this week, to offset,” Tomlin told Labriola when asked who would assume communication duties at safety. “Jalen has played outside corner, he’s played nickel corner, he’s played safety. Given the circumstances, we felt it was prudent to lock him down specifically at free safety, and so he’ll be a constant hub of communication to assist all of those potential candidates who I mentioned in processing and playing.
