Jaylen Warren popped up on the injury report on Friday with a knee issue, officially being labeled questionable for today’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Reports indicated he would play, but he was a surprise inactive 90 minutes before kickoff. Mike Tomlin explained why they made that decision after the Steelers’ 24-21 win.
“Jaylen was a pre-game decision. That’s why we listed him as questionable. He worked out prior to the game, we just didn’t feel good enough. Didn’t want to put him in a uniform and then he wouldn’t be able to finish and then you’re working a guy short,” Tomlin said Sunday via the Steelers’ YouTube.
