The Pittsburgh Steelers will host divisional rivals Cleveland Browns in Week 6 at Acrisure Stadium. The team is off a bye but one of Aaron Rodgers‘ teammates was not cleared, until now, marking him available and set to play this week.

Cornerback Jalen Ramsey was dealing with a hamstring injury. He couldn’t practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to log a full practice on Friday. Hence, he was taken off the injury report for the game against the Browns.

This is a massive piece of news for the Steelers. Ramsey is clearly the best cornerback on the team and is a very clutch player. He won the game in Week 1 for the Steelers basically with a big tackle that prevented the opposing player from making a catch. He is that important

Pittsburgh has won the last 21 regular season home games against the Browns. Also, Mike Tomlin excels after a bye week and has a 14-4 record with eight straight wins.
