Warren appeared on the injury report Thursday with a back injury and missed out on practice, however he practiced in a restricted capability on Friday.
The Steelers signed RB Jonathan Ward off the practice team today and he will likely still be active for his unique groups capability. It would not be a surprise to see WR Scotty Miller non-active with both Warren and Ward active.
Najee Harris will stay Pittsburgh's lead back, and he's been outstanding this season, however having Warren offered versus Baltimore is crucial for Pittsburgh. He's the group's 3rd down back and among the very best pass safeguarding backs in the league, and having him offered to keep Russell Wilson upright versus a Baltimore pass defense that has actually struggled this season is excellent news for the Steelers.
Far this season, Warren has 55 brings for 217 backyards on the ground in 7 video games. He's likewise included 14 receptions for 97 lawns as a receiver. He supplies a good tandem with Harris in the backfield, and with Warren active the Steelers will need to rely less on Cordarrelle Patterson and Ward in the backfield behind Harris.
With Warren anticipated to play, Pittsburgh's offense will likely just be down TE MyCole Pruitt versus the Ravens. Pruitt is skeptical, which is another reason that Ward might be active to offer aid on unique groups.
It's excellent news for Pittsburgh that Warren's injury does not seem anything major and he ought to be great to go on Sunday. It was excellent news he had the ability to log a restricted practice on Friday, and while he was noted as doubtful, if his back can hold up pregame tomorrow, Warren will be excellent to break the Ravens in a crucial divisional contest.
