Steelers vs Raiders: Pittsburgh RB gets an injury upgrade

Pittsburgh gets some good news on offense.

According to Pittsburgh Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, running back Jaylen Warren is good to go for this week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. After Friday’s practice, the Steelers gave Warren an injury designation of questionable for the game but on Saturday he gone an upgrade and heads into the game with no injury designation.

This is great news for a struggling Steelers run game. Pittsburgh will be without Cordarrelle Patterson this week but Warren back in the fold will take some pressure off of Najee Harris.

Through five games, the Steelers are No. 13 in the NFL in rushing yards. Harris leads the team with only 270 yards and quarterback Justin Fields is second on the team with 173 rushing yards.

The Raiders have the No. 22 ranked defense in the NFL in stopping the run. Warren with fresh legs could give Pittsburgh the explosion the run game lacks with Harris getting the bulk of the carries.
