With injuries to RBs Najee Harris and Jeremy McNichols, the lines at the running back position have been running thin as the Steelers hit the midway point of the second week of training camp. While it’s unfortunate to have Pittsburgh’s workhorse back off the field, Najee’s absence has created the opportunity for more reps to be dispersed amongst the other bodies in the room.
UDFA RB Jaylen Warren has seemingly benefitted from this opportunity, sticking out to Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot with his work in backs on backers as well as Mike Tomlin, calling him “highly conditioned” and said he is making the most of the reps allotted to him with the injuries to players ahead of him on the depth chart.
