Steelers Get Much-Needed Good Injury News Before Browns Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers' cornerback Brandin Echols received positive injury news on Thursday, clearing concussion protocol and being upgraded to no injury designation. Echols had previously left last Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals after a collision with punt returner Ke’Shawn Williams, which resulted in the Steelers gaining possession of a fumble.

However, fellow Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey is dealing with a broken right wrist and plans to attempt playing through the injury during the primetime game against the Cleveland Browns. Ramsey acknowledged the severity of his injury, stating that protecting it is crucial. If Ramsey is unable to play, Echols' presence will be vital in countering Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland passing offense.
