Is Jaylen Warren playing today? Why the Steelers RB was quiet in the first half vs. Ravens
Jaylen Warren has stepped into the No. 1 running back role for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season after previously serving as a complementary back to Najee Harris.
Heading into Week 14, Warren led the team with 639 rushing yards, though his carries have often been limited, with fellow back Kenneth Gainwell cutting into his touches.
In the first half of the Steelers’ Week 14 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, Warren has had a quiet start.
Status: Warren is active and healthy, but opportunities have been scarce early on.
The Steelers leaned heavily on the passing game in the opening half, with Aaron Rodgers attempting 20 throws while Pittsburgh ran the ball only eight times. Of those eight carries, Gainwell received two, and rookie Kaleb Johnson got one.
It’s clear that Pittsburgh entered the game with a pass-focused strategy, so the second half will determine if Warren sees more action on the ground.
