Steelers Get Good News on Two Key Players Ahead of Bills Preseason Finale

The Steelers got good news on Monday, with two key players both back at practice as the team ramps up for the regular season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have received encouraging news ahead of their preseason finale against the Bills. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who missed the past month due to a knee injury, has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and can begin practicing with the team again. Additionally, first-round rookie Max Iheanacho, who has been sidelined with a neck and shoulder injury, will also be returning to practice.

Both players are now healthy enough to return to practice as the Steelers prepare for the regular season. Ramsey's return is crucial as he will be relied upon to contain Atlanta's explosive offense in their regular season opener against the Falcons on September 13. Iheanacho, who has missed numerous practice reps, is likely too far behind to start at right tackle for the season opener.

However, if he can stay healthy and continue improving, he could work his way into the starting role at some point during the season. Both players are expected to see action in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bills, but it may not be much, if any.
