As Jaylen Warren’s workload and snap count have increased recently, Najee Harris has declined for the Pittsburgh Steelers. That’s led to plenty of questions about the Black and Gold’s pecking order in the backfield.
Head coach Mike Tomlin waved it off, stating it had to do with how the games unfolded, and now offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is doing the same thing. Speaking with reporters Wednesday ahead of the regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, Smith stated that who plays at RB depends on how the game is going and added that it’s a good problem to have with three running backs in Warren, Harris, and Cordarrelle Patterson who can contribute.
