Jaylen Warren injury update: Steelers RB status revealed on final injury report vs. Ravens

On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will square off at 1 p.m. ET. Ahead of the game, both teams dropped their final injury reports. Notably, Steelers running back Jaylen Warren wasn’t on the team’s list of inactive players.

Warren has been listed as questionable this week leading up to the game after suffering back spasms earlier in the week. Jaylen Warren’s presence is a massive addition for the Steelers.

He is the team’s second option at running back, boasting 217 rushing yards and 96 receiving yards this season. Here are both teams’ full list of inactive players.

Steelers Inactives

No. 4 QB Kyle Allen (3rd QB)
Nol 35 RB Jonathan Ward
No. 56 LB Alex Highsmith
No. 64 OG Max Scharping
No. 81 TE MyCole Pruitt

Ravens Inactives

No. 26 RB Rasheen Ali
No. 39 S Eddie Jackson
No. 61 C Nick Samac
No. 81 WR Devontez Walker

While the Steelers will be happy to have Warren on the field, they will undoubtedly miss linebacker Alex Highsmith. The standout LB suffered an ankle injury last week against the Washington Commanders. Ahead of the game, Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin discussed how the team will adjust to Highsmith’s absence.

“Losing Alex, we hate to lose Alex, but it’s always next man up,” Austin said. “Our scheme and our thing is pretty flexible, and the guys that we bring in here, we think they fit what we do.

“We’re just going to move forward with how we play and how we plan and prepare and do all those things. We’re not going to change a whole bunch, I don’t think, in terms of saying, hey, we can only do this with Nick [Herbig], and we can only do this with Preston [Smith].”

Fans won’t have to wait much longer to see the Steelers and Ravens collide. The two AFC North squads will face off at 1 p.m. ET. The game will air live on CBS.
