Steelers Rule Jaylen Warren Out for Dublin Game vs. Vikings After Late-Week Knee Issue

Pittsburgh shifts backfield duties to Kenneth Gainwell, Trey Sermon and rookie Kaleb Johnson during a planned rest through the bye.

Overview

  • The Steelers’ inactive list released about 90 minutes before kickoff in Dublin confirmed Jaylen Warren will not play because of a knee injury.
  • The call followed conflicting updates, with reports he was expected to suit up before ESPN later noted he did not feel right after Saturday’s practice.
  • Pittsburgh elevated veteran Trey Sermon from the practice squad on Saturday and will pair him with Kenneth Gainwell, with rookie Kaleb Johnson also in the mix.
  • Warren had emerged as the offense’s top producer through three games, leading the team in yards from scrimmage after a career-high snap share in Week 3.
  • With the international game’s early start and a bye week ahead, the team opted to sit Warren and prioritize short-term recovery.
