Steelers Playmaker Making Progress With Return Not Ruled Out For Sunday

Will the Pittsburgh Steelers have one of their best playmakers ready to go for Sunday’s action against the Las Vegas Raiders?

It’s unclear at this point, but it does sound like there is a chance.

Steelers running back Jaylen Warren hasn’t played in a game since Sept. 22 against the Los Angeles Chargers as he has dealt with a knee injury. He currently is questionable for Sunday’s Week 6 clash against the Raiders, but it sounds like he’s making progress and he even practice fully on Friday, according to CBS Sports’ RotoWire Staff and ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.

“Coach Mike Tomlin relayed Friday that Warren (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers’ official site reports. Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Warren was able to practice fully Friday, which gives him a chance to suit up this weekend after being viewed as doubtful earlier this week. The Steelers kick off at 4:05 ET on Sunday, so ideally those inclined to consider him in fantasy lineups will have added context regarding his status available prior to the first wave of kickoffs Sunday.”

Having Warren back into the mix would be amazing. Pittsburgh’s offense has slightly stalled, and bringing a weapon like Warren into the mix could help change things. Pittsburgh has been dealing with plenty of injuries, and it’s nice to see it starting to get healthier. Warren isn’t the only player who possibly could be ready to go Sunday, with quarterback Russell Wilson also possibly going to be active.
