Jaylen Warren

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) practiced on Monday and is expected to play in Week 1 against the Falcons.

The Steelers said last week that the expectation is Warren will play in Week 1, and they haven’t backed off from that. His participation in Monday’s practice is a good sign that he’ll be ready to go come Sunday, but we’ll see how the team lists him on Wednesday’s practice report. If he’s active, Warren will likely see his traditional role as a third-down back and in pass-catching situations. He’ll have weekly stand-alone upside even when Najee Harris is active and would have high-end RB2 upside if Harris were ever to miss time.
