Steelers Activate Jalen Ramsey; Iheanachor Back at Practice

Aug 24, 2026

Steelers get two players back on the field

Pittsburgh added some healthy bodies this week. The Steelers activated cornerback Jalen Ramsey off the PUP list, and offensive lineman Max Iheanachor returned to practice. Both are now working their way back into the mix as the team ramps up.

What it means for your survivor pick

Getting a defensive back like Ramsey back into the fold is a net positive for Pittsburgh's secondary, and any depth returning up front is worth noting too. But an activation off PUP and a return to practice are early steps, not confirmation of full workloads or game availability. For survivor purposes, treat this as a small tick in the right direction rather than a reason to lean on the Steelers just yet — wait to see how these two are actually deployed before you bank a pick on Pittsburgh.
