Overview

  • Jaylen Warren was limited in practice all week and is officially listed as questionable with a knee issue for Week 4.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports, citing a league source, that Warren is expected to play Sunday against the Vikings in Dublin (9:30 a.m. ET).
  • The Steelers elevated veteran running back Trey Sermon from the practice squad, a move that also supports special-teams duties after his Week 3 return role.
  • If Warren’s workload is scaled back, Kenneth Gainwell is the likely leader in the backfield with rookie Kaleb Johnson and Sermon available for snaps.
  • Pittsburgh ruled out edge rusher Alex Highsmith; tight end Jonnu Smith and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. are questionable, and safety DeShon Elliott has no injury designation after a full practice.
