What happened: Mike McCarthy said Jalen Ramsey will practice Monday, marking his first camp work ahead of the 2026 season. The transaction comes as Pittsburgh enters the final stretch of the preseason.

Why it matters: Ramsey's return restores a veteran option to the Steelers' secondary before regular-season preparations intensify. Practice time now gives him a chance to rebuild his workload after the extended absence.

By the numbers: Ramsey has played 152 career games, starting 151.

What to watch: Watch Ramsey's participation in team drills and whether he is available for Pittsburgh's remaining preseason work.
