PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to be without running back Jaylen Warren for their Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Warren suffered a knee injury at some point either during or before the team’s Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin pulled him from that game, as Warren was trying to play through it.

Since then, an MRI revealed no structural damage, but Warren has not suited up through two practices this week, and according to a report by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com, is not expected to play.

Steelers starter Najee Harris, despite being seen with his right arm in a sling on Monday, is expected to play. He returned to practice on Thursday after being given Wednesday off. The Steelers have not acknowledged Harris’ injury. Head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that he’ll be “ready to rock and roll.”

Cordarrelle Patterson will likely back up Harris, with one of Jonathan Ward or Aaron Shampklin being recalled from the practice squad.
