PITTSBURGH — Four Pittsburgh Steelers, including running back Jaylen Warren, missed their second consecutive practice with injury on Thursday and appear to be trending toward not dressing in the team’s Week 5 home game against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football.
Head coach Mike Tomlin has already ruled outside linebacker Alex Highsmith out for this week’s game, and three of his teammates appear to be close to joining him. Running backs Cordarrelle Patterson and Jaylen Warren and tight end MyCole Pruitt both missed their second straight practice on Thursday.
Warren suffered a knee injury in the Steelers’ Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers and was held out last week. Patterson left last Sunday’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts with an ankle injury and did not return. Pruitt has been out since injuring his right knee in the team’s Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos.
Outside linebacker Nick Herbig returned to practice with a limited designation. He was held out of Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury suffered in Indianapolis. Defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi was added to the injury report on Thursday. He was listed as limited with a groin injury.
