Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey is active for Thursday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns despite a broken wrist.

Ramsey suffered the injury Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals but signaled he intended to play through it.

"It's just going to be about seeing if I'm able to protect it and also still be myself in a good enough capacity where I feel like if I go out there, I won't be letting any of my teammates down," Ramsey said Tuesday.

Ramsey recorded nine tackles, one forced fumble, and one pass breakup in the first three games, with the Steelers winning two of them. The Browns enter Thursday's matchup with an identical 2-1 record.

Ramsey hasn't missed a contest since the 2023 season, when he played for the Miami Dolphins. The 31-year-old is in his 11th NFL campaign.

Running back Rico Dowdle headlines the Steelers' inactive list. Dowdle is missing his second straight game with a toe injury.
