A new report is not good for Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Calvin Austin, both of whom left the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings early with injuries.
Pittsburgh Steelers get troubling early injury updates on Jalen Ramsey, Calvin Austin originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Pittsburgh Steelers might not have the services of cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Calvin Austin for "at least several games."
The report comes from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac, who reported this early Monday morning.
"Steelers can use the bye: CB Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) and WR Calvin Austin III (shoulder) are expected to miss at least several games. Ramsey tried to return vs Vikings, but didn’t work out," Dulac wrote.
Ramsey and Austin both exited the Week 4 win over the Vikings early, with the former suffering a hamstring injury and the latter sustaining a shoulder injury.
Ramsey actually did a fake hamstring injury touchdown celebration during the game before later leaving with a hamstring injury.
You can't make that up.
Austin was actually taken to a hospital after suffering his shoulder injury. He took to social media after the game to say he's "all good."
"Great Dub in Dublin! I'm all good Steelers nation, appreciate the messages and concern," Austin wrote.
An extended loss of both players would be bad news for Pittsburgh, who can ill-afford to lose anyone at either position.
The bye Dulac mentions comes in Week 5, so that's one less game Pittsburgh will be without two important players.
We know the Steelers are already short-handed at wide receiver and Austin was the No. 2 option in the room. Ramsey might be playing better than anyone in the team's secondary this season.
