Critical steelers DB suffered apparent upper-body injury

Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive back Jalen Ramsey sustained what appeared to be an upper-body injury during the team's Week 3 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a report by Jenna Harner from WPXI. The injury forced Ramsey to walk through the Steelers' locker room with his right arm in a sling. Ramsey was part of a trio of defenders who played in all 57 snaps of the Steelers' win, and he did not exhibit any injury signs during the game.

The Steelers were already struggling with a lack of players at the defensive back position, as Joey Porter Jr. had not fully participated in practice, DeShon Elliott remained on injured reserve with a hamstring issue, and Ramsey's backup Brandin Echols was in the concussion protocol following a hit on a special teams play.
