Steelers Optimistic Jaylen Warren Will Play Against Bears After Ankle Tweak

Tomlin says the running back will open the week on a limited practice plan.

Overview

  • Warren called the issue a "little tweak" and said he could have returned before the team opted to be cautious.
  • He left the Bengals game after one snap and did not return, having already rushed for 62 yards.
  • Kenneth Gainwell stepped in effectively, scoring two touchdowns to handle the backfield workload.
  • Reports add that Darius Slay could return from a concussion, Alex Highsmith is limited, and Aaron Rodgers is expected to play through a non-throwing wrist injury.
  • The first formal status update is expected with Wednesday’s injury report ahead of Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Soldier Field.
