Steelers Add Jaylen Warren to Injury Report Hours Before Kickoff With Illness

Final word will come with the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff.

Overview

  • Jaylen Warren is listed questionable for Monday night after waking up sick, and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports he is optimistic to play following fluids.
  • The Steelers will confirm Warren’s status on the 6:45 p.m. ET inactive list ahead of the 8:15 p.m. kickoff against the Dolphins.
  • If Warren is out or limited, Kenneth Gainwell is expected to lead the backfield with rookie Kaleb Johnson likely to see additional snaps.
  • Warren leads Pittsburgh with 652 rushing yards and four touchdowns this season, a key factor for an offense that has struggled to run the ball.
  • Pittsburgh is already down star pass rusher T. J. Watt, adding pressure in a game with AFC North positioning implications.
