Pittsburgh Steelers get bad injury news on star cornerback and another key starter

Pittsburgh, PA — September 29, 2025 — The Pittsburgh Steelers received grim injury news following their 24-21 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin, Ireland, as star cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Calvin Austin III are expected to miss “several games” after the team’s Week 5 bye, per Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac.

Austin, who suffered a shoulder injury after a hard landing during a catch in the Week 4 game, was taken to a Dublin hospital for evaluation. He reassured fans on X, posting, “Great Dub in Dublin! I’m all good Steelers Nation, appreciate the messages and concern.” Despite his optimism, Austin left the stadium with his arm in a sling, and head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed postgame, “Calvin Austin’s got a shoulder. I think he’s at the hospital being evaluated.” The exact nature of the injury remains unclear, but his absence could significantly impact an offense finally finding its rhythm.

Ramsey, acquired from the Miami Dolphins in the offseason, hobbled off the field early in the game and was briefly replaced by James Pierre. After working on a stationary bike, he returned for a drive before exiting again during the Vikings’ final possession. Ramsey has been a cornerstone of Pittsburgh’s defense, highlighted by a game-sealing pass breakup in Week 1 against the Jets. Through four games, he’s delivered multiple high-impact plays, bolstering the Steelers’ secondary.

The injuries add to Pittsburgh’s challenges, with Alex Highsmith (ankle), Joey Porter Jr. (hamstring), and Max Scharping (ACL, out for season) already sidelined or limited. The Steelers (3-1), fresh off their Dublin win driven by Aaron Rodgers’ 80-yard touchdown to DK Metcalf and five forced turnovers, now face depth concerns. As they head into the bye week, the team hopes for clarity on Ramsey and Austin’s recovery timelines before facing the Cleveland Browns in Week 6.

Heartwarming: Lions Superstar Aidan Hutchinson and His Girlfriend Quietly Fund 10,000 Thanksgiving Meals for Detroit’s Homeless – A Genuine Gesture That Touched the Soul of the City
Detroit, Michigan – November 22, 2025 In the middle of the holiday rush, Aidan Hutchinson stunned all of Detroit by quietly funding 10,000 meals for the homeless across the city. This deeply humane act was carried out with no press release, no social-media fanfare, yet it was powerful enough to reach the hearts of the entire Detroit community. It is clear proof that Hutchinson’s impact goes far beyond the football field and spreads strongly into the lives of the people. The initiative comes at a time when temperatures in Detroit have dropped sharply, making life for the homeless – already difficult – even harsher. The meals, distributed through shelters and food banks, became a rare source of warmth in the middle of winter. A worker at one distribution site said recipients were “overwhelmed with emotion” because they felt seen and not forgotten during the busy holiday season. In this moment, Hutchinson shared a few words as a message to Lions Nation: “Detroit has given me so much love and so many opportunities to grow. If I can bring even a small bit of warmth to those who are struggling the most, that’s something I’m willing to do with all my heart. We are a city that stands beside each other, no matter the circumstances.” A statement that made fans even prouder of No. 97. The Detroit community has unanimously praised the gesture and sees it as the clearest display yet of Hutchinson’s leadership qualities. He is regarded as someone who not only plays with passion but lives with kindness and responsibility. Many Lions fans say the reason they love Hutchinson isn’t just the sacks or big plays – it’s the heart he has for the place he’s giving everything to. With 10,000 meals delivered and thousands of people helped, Hutchinson has left a powerful mark on Detroit’s heart this holiday season. The act is being viewed as inspiration, encouraging others to keep spreading love throughout the community. While he remains a pillar on the field, the way he treats the city off it is what is building a truly special legacy for both the Detroit Lions and the entire NFL.
