Initially, he was expected to be sidelined for \u201cmultiple weeks,\u201d raising concerns about his availability for the season opener.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current Status:<\/strong> Recently, Warren has been making progress in his recovery. According to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com, head coach Mike Tomlin shared a positive update, indicating that Warren has participated in practice and is expected to play on Sunday. Warren himself has been vocal about his readiness, stating he\u2019s been doing individual and special teams drills and plans to join team practices soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recovery Approach:<\/strong> Warren has emphasized that his recovery will be gradual. He expressed confidence about being ready for the game but acknowledged the importance of taking things slow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Potential Usage:<\/strong> There\u2019s some concern among fantasy football managers that the Steelers might opt to ease Warren back into action, potentially giving more work to Najee Harris. Despite this, there\u2019s no current indication that the Steelers plan to limit Warren\u2019s involvement significantly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Role and Production:<\/strong> In 2023, Warren proved to be a valuable asset for the Steelers, doubling his touches from his rookie year and finishing with 1,154 yards from scrimmage (784 rushing, 370 receiving) and four touchdowns. His role is expected to be significant once again in 2024, working alongside Harris in the backfield.<\/p>\n<p>For fantasy football enthusiasts, Warren\u2019s potential return could be crucial, but it\u2019s wise to monitor his status leading up to the game and be prepared for possible updates on his usage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers are cautiously optimistic about having running back Jaylen Warren available for their Week 1 matchup against the\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":50151,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[16250],"class_list":["post-50145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-jaylen-warren"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50145\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
