Steelers are kicking around ways to get RB Jaylen Warren on field with Najee Harris Warren went from undrafted rookie to the No. 2 back in 2022, now the Steelers are looking for ways to get him even more touches.
Grading Steelers RB Jaylen Warren's rookie season Jaylen Warren was the biggest surprise from the Steelers 2023 NFL draft class.

Tops 40 yards from scrimmage Sunday Warren rushed six times for 36 yards while securing three of four targets for seven yards during the Steelers' 28-14 win over Cleveland on Sunday.
Impact Warren racked up a season-high 15 touches during Pittsburgh's Week 17 win over the Ravens, but he had a more limited role in the team's offense to close out the regular season. Although starting running back Najee Harris appeared in every game this year, Warren carved out a somewhat consistent role as the No. 2 option in the backfield, rushing 77 times for 379 yards and a touchdown while securing 28 of 33 targets for 214 yards. While Harris should remain the clear No. 1 running back in Pittsburgh next season, Warren has appeared to gain the trust of the team's coaching staff as the top backup.

Season-high 15 touches in win Warren had 12 carries for 76 yards and caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Ravens.
Impact Warren was part of a two-headed rushing attack with Najee Harris (22-111-0) that lit up the Ravens' stout defensive front for a combined for 198 rushing yards on the day. The undrafted rookie has seen his role increase late in the season, receiving double-digit carries for the second time in three weeks. Harris is still the lead back in Pittsburgh, but Warren is proving that he is more than just a third-down option. The Oklahoma State product will look to finish his solid rookie campaign on a high note when the Steelers take on the Browns in Week 18.

Tallies 30 yards from scrimmage Warren rushed six times for 23 yards while securing one of two targets for seven yards during the Steelers' 13-10 win over the Raiders on Saturday.
Impact Warren was on the field for just 30 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Saturday, but he still saw some touches. He's now logged at least five touches in each of the last three weeks, and he's logged at least 30 yards from scrimmage in back-to-back games. However, he's had a relatively muted role with Najee Harris healthy.

Reaches end zone against Carolina Warren rushed 11 times for 38 yards and a touchdown while securing his lone target for 11 yards during the Steelers' 24-16 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact Warren had been limited to 55 yards from scrimmage over his prior three games, but he bounced back with a solid performance in Carolina that included his first touchdown of the season. The 24-year-old rookie has been inconsistent while working behind Najee Harris, but Warren has rushed 53 times for 244 yards and a touchdown while securing 21 of 24 targets for 178 yards on the season.

Records five touches against Ravens Warren rushed three times for 11 yards while securing two of three targets for 16 yards during the Steelers' 16-14 loss to Baltimore on Sunday.
Impact Warren racked up 19 yards in his return to action last week, but he was slightly more involved during Pittsburgh's narrow loss Sunday. In his three games since racking up at least 75 yards in back-to-back appearances, the undrafted rookie has rushed four times for 16 yards while securing five of six targets for 39 yards.
DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Minimal involvement in return Warren rushed once for five yards while securing both of his targets for 14 yards during the Steelers' 19-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact Warren missed Monday's game against the Colts due to a hamstring injury but was back in action for Sunday's Week 13 matchup. While he outpaced Benny Snell in snaps, Warren was on the field for just 20 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps Sunday. The undrafted rookie topped 75 yards from scrimmage in two of his three appearances prior to his absence, but he's unlikely to be a consistent fantasy contributor as long as Najee Harris remains healthy.

Suits up Sunday Warren (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Warren, who was inactive this past Monday versus the Colts, practiced fully this week yet still carried a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's contest. He'll be available against Atlanta, though with starter Najee Harris slated to play through an oblique issue after returning to a limited practice Friday, look for Warren to work in complementary role, with Benny Snell -- who stepped in for Harris after he exited Monday's game against Indianapolis -- on hand to provide support should either Harris or Warren be limited or suffer any setbacks.

Questionable Sunday Warren (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Warren practiced fully during each of Pittsburgh's three practice sessions this week, but he'll still carry a questionable designation ahead of Week 13. It wouldn't be surprising to see the undrafted rookie suit up this week after missing Monday's win over the Colts. However, Warren would be in line to serve in a backup capacity since Najee Harris will be able to play through an oblique issue.

Begins week with full practice Warren (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Earlier Wednesday, Warren said that he was on track to put an end to his one-game absence and return to action this Sunday against the Falcons, and his ability to begin the week as a full practice participant backs up his optimism. Though the undrafted rookie out of Oklahoma State has mainly served in a complementary role this season, Warren could be primed for his largest workload to date if top back Najee Harris (oblique) -- who sat out Wednesday's session -- is unable to play. Even if Harris is cleared to play this weekend, the Steelers could look to manage his snaps and lean more heavily on Warren than usual.
NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trending toward return in Week 13 Warren said Wednesday that he's been cleared to return from his hamstring injury ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Barring any setbacks in practice this week, Warren looks like he'll be ready to play this weekend after sitting out Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts. Warren's status is of more importance than usual, given that Najee Harris sustained an abdominal injury Monday and isn't a sure bet to suit up Week 13. Wednesday's injury report will clarify the practice participation level of Pittsburgh's top two running backs.

Out for Monday Warren (hamstring) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Colts, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Warren didn't practice all week, so it's hardly surprising to see the rookie unavailable. Najee Harris easily put together his best game of the season in Week 11 and will likely be tasked with the majority share of the backfield in Warren's absence.

Sits out another practice Warren (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Though head coach Mike Tomlin said Warren's hamstring injury is "not a significant" one, the running back has now missed two straight practices. If Warren ends up out or limited Monday against the Colts, Benny Snell would be in line to handle complementary work behind Pittsburgh's top running back, Najee Harris.
NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sits out practice Thursday Warren (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Warren suffered what coach Mike Tomlin referred to as "not a significant" hamstring injury in Week 11 against the Bengals, but at this stage the running back's status for Monday night's game against the Colts is uncertain. Warren now has two more chances to return to practice ahead of the contest, but if he's unavailable versus Indianapolis, Benny Snell would be in line to log complementary snaps in Week 12 behind top back Najee Harris.
NOVEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Status in question for Monday Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Warren's (hamstring) availability Monday at Indianapolis is up in the air, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Warren was ruled out of this past Sunday's loss to the Bengals due to a hamstring injury, which isn't "significant," according to Tomlin. Still, Warren's practice reps seemingly will be capped when the Steelers take the practice field Thursday. If Warren is inhibited or sidelined Monday, Benny Snell would be the primary reserve running back behind Najee Harris.

Impact Before his exit, Warren had caught one pass for nine yards. In his absence, Benny Snell is available to log complementary snaps behind top back Najee Harris.
