PITTSBURGH – In a significant blow to their offensive lineup, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without running back Jaylen Warren for their upcoming clash against the Indianapolis Colts.

Warren, who has been a rising star in the running game, is currently recuperating from a knee injury he sustained during the Week 3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Despite the team's hopes for a quick recovery, Warren did not participate in any practices throughout the week, leading to the decision to rule him out on Friday.

Increased Responsibility for Najee Harris

This absence places a heavier burden on fellow running back Najee Harris, who is set to regain his role as the primary ball-carrier.

In the previous matchup against the Chargers, Harris demonstrated his resilience with 18 carries for 70 yards on 38 snaps.

However, Warren's early exit from that game, after just 22 snaps, highlighted the delicate state of Pittsburgh's backfield.
