Steelers injury updates: RB Jaylen Warren expected to play vs Ravens

Jaylen Warren is listed as questionable but expected to play vs the Ravens.

Despite being unable to practice much at all this past week, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren could play on Sunday versus the Baltimore Ravens. This is according to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter.

Warren appeared on the practice report on Thursday with a back injury that forced him to miss practice on Thursday and was limited on Friday. This is in addition to starting running back Najee Harris who dealt with an ankle injury all week but has no injury designation for this week’s game.

The Steelers are averaging 138.3 rushing yards per game. This is good enough for No. 8 in the league. The run game has taken off since Russell Wilson took over the starting quarterback job.

Will Jaylen Warren play this week? Injury updates for Steelers RB

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is dealing with a back injury. Here are the latest updates.

A few new names, including running back Jaylen Warren, popped up on Pittsburgh Steelers injury report on Thursday that could impact their critical brawl with the Baltimore Ravens.

Warren, 26, is coming off his best game of the year in Pittsburgh’s win over the Washington Commanders with 14 carries for 66 yards and a pair of receptions for 29 yards. Unfortunately, he had what was a tone-changing fumble at the goal line.

A knee injury sidelined Warren for two games earlier this season. We’ll see if he can practice tomorrow; otherwise, his status for the critical brawl with Baltimore will be in jeopardy.

Jaylen Warren injury update

Warren was a full participant on Wednesday, so his addition is something to monitor. Najee Harris (ankle), who did not practice on Wednesday, returned to full participation on Thursday.

How long will Jaylen Warren be out?

Back injuries are no joke and, depending on severity, could be a concern. Given the injury is new, no official information is available on how long Warren could be out.

Steelers running back depth chart

Warren is second on Pittsburgh’s depth chart, and should he be sidelined, those duties would fall to Cordarrelle Patterson. The Steelers will likely elevate one of two practice squad backs, Aaron Shampklin or Jonathan Ward.

Steelers injury update: Nick Herbig’s status still in question

Steelers EDGE Nick Herbig was limited at Thursday practice.

On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers made a trade with the Green Bay Packers, landing outside linebacker Preston Smith. Pittsburgh might need Smith to get on the field Sunday against the Washington Commanders as part of the team’s pass-rushing rotation.

The reason is that on Thursday, outside linebacker Nick Herbig was still limited at practice.  Herbig continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury that’s kept him out of the team’s last three games. Herbig got two starts in place of an injured Alex Highsmith and was well on his way to a breakout season.

If Herbig isn’t ready to go, we could see a heavy dose of Smith who joined the team on Tuesday. Pittsburgh is also without Demarvin Leal who was placed on IR. The Steelers take on the 7-2 Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Steelers injury update: QB pops up on Saturday injury report

Justin Fields is now questionable for Monday’s game with a hamstring injury.

On the Fox pregame show, NFL reporter Jay Glazer says he spoke to Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and he’s got an injured quarterback on his hands.

According to Glazer, Justin Fields tweaked his hamstring and is now questionable for Monday night’s game against the New York Giants. If Fields cannot go, Kyle Allen will serve as the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind Russell Wilson.

 

According to Glazer, the Steelers have some packages in place for Fields but it seems highly unlikely he will see the field even if he is active on Monday night.

Steelers injury updates: 2 key Steelers lost in win vs Jets

Donte Jackson and Montravius Adams were both injured in Sunday’s win.

After the Pittsburgh Steelers 37-15 win over the New York Jets, head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media about the win and offered a brief update on the injuries that occurred. He noted several players had what Tomlin likes to call bumps and bruises associated with play and lost noted two more significant injuries.

Tomlin followed up on cornerback Donte Jackson and defensive tackle Montravius Adams. Tomlin said Jackson had a shoulder injury and was unable to return and Adams suffered a knee injury and missed the remainder of the game.

Jackson’s absence opened the door for James Pierre and the Jets took advantage of the mismatch. For Adams, the Jets made a strong effort to run the ball without the backup nose tackle in the rotation but the rest of the defense stepped up to fill in the gaps.

Tomlin will offer an update at his usual Tuesday press conference when the team begins preparations to take on the New York Giants.

Steelers injury updates: Rookie added to Thursday report with hamstring injury

The Steelers got Alex Highsmith back at practice on Thursday.

Thursday marks the final big day of work for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to take on the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football. Friday will mark final roster decisions but Thursday is usually the most telling in terms of who is trending toward playing.

On Thursday we saw several prominent names on the report with new statuses. The headliner is edge Alex Highsmith who was a full participant. Highsmith has missed the last three games with a groin injury but his return cannot come soon enough after Nick Herbig injured his hamstring filling in for him.

Another surprise on the list was the new addition of wide receiver Roman Wilson. Wilson was back on the injury report and limited with a hamstring injury. Wilson has missed almost all of the season with this same injury but saw his first action last week.

Steelers injury updates: Russell Wilson with full workout, Jaylen Warren remains limited

Here is the Steelers Thursday practice report.

There wasn’t much change for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their Thursday practice ahead of the team taking on the Las Vegas Raiders. The biggest change was the limited return of edge rusher Alex Highsmith, who is working his way back from a groin injury.

The Steelers gave multiple veteran starters another day of rest which is great for them but for a struggling team, doesn’t seem prudent. Nevertheless, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, running back Najee Harris, and defensive tackle Cam Heyward all took the day off.

Here is the full Thursday practice report.

No. 3 QB Russell Wilson (Calf) – Full
No. 22 RB Najee Harris (NIR – Resting) – Full
No. 23 S Damontae Kazee (Ankle) – DNP
