Pittsburgh’s first-round draft pick a year ago, running back Najee Harris, left Sunday’s game with a foot injury and did not return.
In his absence, former OSU star Jaylen Warren played the majority of snaps at running back — a theme we may see indefinitely as the Steelers’ starter nurses an apparent lower body injury.
It’s unclear how much time Harris could miss, if any, but reporters in Pittsburgh on Sunday noticed that he was in a walking boot. Harris already had been dealing with a lisfranc sprain in his foot during training camp, so it’s possible Warren could get an extended run as the top ball-carrier in Pittsburgh.
