JAYLEN WARREN NEWS

Strong volume again in Sunday's win Warren carried the ball nine times for 41 yards and caught all four of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens.

Impact The third-year running back has benefitted from the Steelers' switch at quarterback from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson. In four games with Wilson under center, Warren has gotten double-digit touches each time, amassing 281 scrimmage yards over that stretch. The four catches were also a season high for Warren. He's still looking for his first touchdown of 2024, either on the ground or through the air, but he could end that drought in Week 12 against a Browns defense that just got gutted for 188 combined yards and three TDs by the versatile Taysom Hill.

Steelers running back Jaylen Warren active and will play against the Ravens Warren was listed as questionable with a back injury.

Good to go Sunday Warren (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Warren sat out practice Thursday with the injury and then was a limited participant Friday, prompting the Steelers to list him as questionable heading into the weekend. Though Pittsburgh signed another running back (Jonathan Ward) to their 53-man roster Saturday, his addition looks to have been mostly precautionary, as he'll be inactive for the contest with Warren getting the green light to play. Despite the missed practice this week, Warren should be ready to handle his usual duties as the Steelers' No. 2 back behind starter Najee Harris. Warren has earned at least nine touches in each of his last four appearances, but he has yet to find the end zone in any of his seven total outings so far this season.

Expected to play Sunday Warren (back) is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens barring a pregame setback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact After logging a DNP on Thursday, Warren was able to get in a limited session Friday and was listed as questionable. In a big AFC North divisional tilt, Warren sounds like he's going to be able to play and help spell Najee Harris out of Pittsburgh's backfield. Warren is averaging 9.9 touches per game this season and has yet to score a touchdown, severely capping his fantasy upside.

Questionable after limited practice Warren (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Warren practiced on a limited basis Friday after being unable to take the practice field Thursday. If Warren's unable to play his usual change-of-pace role behind Najee Harris in Sunday's critical rivalry game, Cordarrelle Patterson could see an increase in opportunities on offense.

Jaylen Warren injury update: Will Steelers RB play against the Ravens in Week 11? The Pittsburgh Steelers could be without Jaylen Warren against the Baltimore Ravens after he suffered a back injury in practice

6 DAYS AGO • USATODAY.COM

Added to injury report Warren didn't practice Thursday due to a back issue, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Warren was a full participant Wednesday, so his addition to the Steelers' Week 11 injury report a day later is something to monitor ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens. Meanwhile, fellow running back Najee Harris, who missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle concern, returned to full participation Thursday.

Usage ticking up Warren rushed the ball 14 times for 66 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. He added two receptions on two targets for 29 yards.

Impact Warren earned a season-high 16 touches and out-performed Najee Harris for much of the game. He accounted for three of Pittsburgh's 10 longest gains from scrimmage, highlighted by rushes of 12 and 10 yards as well as a reception that went for 26 yards. The primary downside for Warren's projected role is his lack of work near the goal line, particularly after he lost a crucial fumble in Sunday's winning effort. Even so, his usage continues to tick up, and he should settle into seeing around 12 to 15 touches per game on a consistent basis.

Produces 63 yards off 11 touches Warren rushed nine times for 46 yards and caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Monday's 26-18 win over the Giants.

Impact Warren continues to be one of the more effective backups in the league with another solid showing off of double-digit touches. The 25-year-old's production has taken off in recent weeks alongside quarterback Russell Wilson's activation in Week 7. Najee Harris is still the bell cow of this offense, but Warren has shown that he can be effective in a limited role for those in deeper fantasy formats.

Solid in backup role Warren rushed 12 times for 44 yards and caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Jets.

Impact Najee Harris was the star of Pittsburgh's rushing attack in a lopsided win over the Jets, but Warren still produced off of 14 combined touches in the win. This was the backup's best output since Week 2 before poor play bookended a minor knee injury in recent weeks. Warren should continue to see a handful of touches behind Harris when the Steelers host the Giants next Monday.

Nine touches in return Warren recorded six rushes for seven yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders. He added three receptions on three targets for 11 yards.

Impact Warren returned from a two-game absence and is perhaps healthy for the first time this season. He worked as the change-of-pace back to Najee Harris and was ineffective in the role. However, Warren has shown the ability to work efficiently through his first two seasons in the league and will look to get his campaign on track after being derailed by injuries early on.

Cleared to face Raiders Warren (knee) has been upgraded from his prior listed questionable status and will not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders,Burt Lauten of Steeler...

Impact After logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Warren practiced fully Friday, with coach Mike Tomlin noting afterward that the running back headed into the weekend on a "good trajectory on the upswing." Now that Warren -- who had missed two straight games -- has been cleared to face Las Vegas on Sunday, he's set to reclaim a portion of the Steelers' backfield duties alongside Najee Harris, a context that makes him worthy of lineup consideration for those in deeper formats or who are in need of Week 6 RB help due to injuries or bye week issues.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Coach Mike Tomlin relayed Friday that Warren (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Warren was able to practice fully Friday, which gives him a chance to suit up this weekend after being viewed as doubtful earlier this week. The Steelers kick off at 4:05 ET on Sunday, so ideally those inclined to consider him in fantasy lineups will have added context regarding his status available prior to the first wave of kickoffs Sunday.

Remains limited at practice Warren (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official reports.

Impact Per Missi Matthews of the team's official site, earlier this week coach Mike Tomlin indicated that Warren was doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, however the running back's limited participation Wednesday and Thursday offers some hope that he could be available this weekend. In any case, Friday's final injury report will clarify Warren's official Week 6 designation.

Limited in practice Wednesday Warren (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Warren was called doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders by coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday, so a limited practice one day later is a positive development in that context. Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has already been ruled out for Sunday, so Warren would return to a complementary role alongside Najee Harris should Warren make a surprising Week 6 return.

Impact Tomlin has already ruled out fellow running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) for a second straight game, and though the coach is still leaving the door open for Warren to play Week 6, the 25-year-old will in all likelihood sit out a third consecutive contest. While Warren and Patterson were sidelined for this past Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys, Najee Harris (14 carries, two receptions, 74 percent snap share) took on the majority of touches and playing time out of the backfield, while Aaron Shampklin (four carries, no receptions, 19 percent snap share) and Jonathan Ward (two carries, no receptions, five percent snap share) saw limited work as the Nos. 2 and 3 options, respectively. Expect a similar breakdown for the three backs in Week 6, while Warren most likely turns his focus toward a return to the lineup Week 7 versus the Jets.

Won't play Sunday Warren (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Fellow RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has also been ruled out for the contest, which sets the stage for Aaron Shampklin to back up Najee Harris on Sunday. Meanwhile, La'Mical Perine and Jonathan Ward are candidates to be elevated from Pittsburgh's practice squad ahead of Week 5 action. Warren will target a possible return to action Oct. 13 against the Raiders.
