Steelers Star Jalen Ramsey Hit With Concerning Injury News To Start Training Camp
The grueling NFL summer calendar has officially claimed its first major defensive casualty in western Pennsylvania. As players reported for the start of mandatory team training camp, a cloud of sudden uncertainty descended on the defense. Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey will officially start the preseason on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
Team general manager Omar Khan formally announced the roster move to reporters during an early morning press briefing. Consequently, this highly disappointing development means the elite playmaker will miss the initial wave of intensive summer practices.
Furthermore, team officials revealed that the lockdown cornerback suffered a concerning knee injury during mandatory minicamp workouts.
Because the secondary relies heavily on his veteran leadership, managing his recovery timeline remains an absolute priority for coaches.
Evaluation Timelines Emerge For Ramsey’s Recovery
Despite the immediate concern circulating through the media, team executives expressed a relatively optimistic outlook for his return. According to the medical update from Omar Khan, Jalen Ramsey is expected to miss just a couple of weeks of active practice. Meanwhile, the training staff will monitor his daily rehabilitation progress in private to avoid sudden, long-term structural setbacks.
Ramsey, who signed a four-year, $84.7 million contract with the Steelers, became an essential piece of the Pittsburgh secondary.
He played in all 17 games during the 2025 season, logging 88 total tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and 1 interception.
