Steelers RB Najee Harris', who was ruled out of Monday night's game with an abdominal injury, status this week is up in the air, and he'll be reevaluated as the practice week goes on.

The good news is, Harris did not suffer a major injury, sources told Rapoport. So while that's nice to hear, there isn't really a lot to go with here for fantasy purposes. If Harris can log some practice time early in the week, it could mean he'll be good to go for Week 13. However, if he can't, we'll have to then monitor Warren's hamstring status. Warren should be next man up if he can play, but if both Harris and Warren are out, it could mean Snell gets a big workload in a nice matchup against the Falcons.

Mike Tomlin was asked if he has long-term concern about Najee Harris and said he didn’t have much to say about the running back so soon after the game.

“Not as I sit here right now,” Tomlin said, via Adam Bittner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “But I don’t have a lot of information as I sit here right now.”

It's a pretty fluid situation as far as the Steelers RBs go. Harris was seen limping in and out of the lineup before heading to the locker room early and not returning on MNF. Warren is dealing with his own injury leaving Snell and McFarland to carry the load on the ground, and they did a pretty good job against the Colts. We'll continue to keep an eye on this situation as the week goes on. The Steelers do have an early game against the Falcons so owners should have time to adjust lineups.

Mike Tomlin said RB Jaylen Warren's availability for Colts game is "questionable."

The injury is not considered significant, according to the rest of the tweet. While Warren was supposed to see an increased role in the offense, Harris has looked more like the 2020 version over the span of the last two weeks. Harris had 20 carries last week, including a nice TD run, and added four catches.

Pryor's tweet went on to say it won't affect his game participation for Week 11, which is a contest against the Bengals. While all the hype was around Warren leading into last week's game, Harris ran 20 times for 99 yards, both were season highs. Meanwhile Warren had nine carries for 37 yards and added three catches for 40 yards, so he's still trending up as the 12 touches were a season high.

While the Steelers aren't changing their collective mindset, Tomlin acknowledged running back Jaylen Warren may continue to see his role in the offense increase during the second half of the season.

"He's a quality back this made some plays," Tomlin said of Warren. "We'll keep giving him an opportunity to do so. And maybe he'll write that script [as a featured back]."

The undrafted rookie, who earned a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster following an impressive training camp, ran 29 times for a 5.3 yards-per-carry average during the season's first eight games, the story said. Tomlin was recently asked about Harris possibly being injured and beat reporter Chris Adamski tweeted Tomlin replied: "To what degrees, I don't know, he's playing so obviously he's healthy enough to play." There's been talk for a few weeks that Warren could get more work, but coming off a bye would seem like a good time to actually do it. Warren had 9 touches in a blowout loss to Philly and also had 9 in a blowout loss to the Bills, the most he's had in a game.

Tomlin: "We've been playing Jaylen Warren more and will continue to do so."

This isn't what Harris owners who spent a first round pick on the running back this summer want to hear. Warren showed a spark in an otherwise lackluster game for the Steelers against the Bills in Week 5. Warren carried five times for 24 yards and hauled in four catches for 39 yards. This could be a way for the team to try and light a spark under Harris, but things won't get any easier as they next host the Buccaneers in Week 6.

For the second game in a row, the Steelers found success when they went to their tempo offense. On four of seven plays in the Steelers’ first scoring drive against the Browns, the team used no huddle and moved the ball 75 yards in three minutes. On the second scoring drive, the Steelers went no-huddle on just three of 10 plays, but two of those plays picked up first downs.

“We did pretty good with the tempo,” Chase Claypool said. “We might be able to go back to that if, uh, our offense is stalling a little bit, maybe we add some tempo to switch up the momentum or the flow of the game.”

The story was about signs of progress for the Steelers offense. The team did find some success using an up-tempo offense. Last year, the story pointed out, the team had similar issues and mainly went no-huddle only in the second half with Ben Roethlisberger as the QB, but pointed out the team did go up-tempo in the first half of last week's game with Cleveland. That's perhaps a good sign. The story also mentioned Warren has developed into a nice compliment to Harris, and if you're a Harris owner, Warren should probably be on your roster.

Najee Harris was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice but was a full-go the following two days.

This put a major damper on anyone who went out and spent FAAB on Jaylen Warren during waiver runs this week, but it would be a good idea to hold him on your roster as we continue to keep an eye on Najee Harris' foot. Given the Steelers' historic running back usage, if Harris is healthy heading into a game, we should expect him to handle a vast majority of the workload.

Najee Harris told Adam Schein of SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio that the injury is “nothing too crazy” and that he’ll use Tuesday’s off day to continue healing before he gets back on the field to prepare for the Steelers’ Week Two home game against the Patriots.

“I’ll be back at practice this week. And then I will be playing this weekend,” Harris said.

It's certainly great news at this point. But we know by now we can't always trust players when it comes to talking about their health and their playing status. We'll continue to keep an eye on it because Harris wasn't able to return to the game. For Harris owners, it may be a good time to try to pick up Warren just in case things change with Harris.

The former first-round pick was named as one of Pittsburgh’s five co-captains for the 2022 season Monday, along with second-year running back Najee Harris, linebacker T.J. Watt, defensive tackle Cam Heyward and safety Miles Killebrew.

The 28-year-old has been competing for the starting job this offseason alongside 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett and last year’s backup quarterback Mason Rudolph. The Steelers are in win-now mode with or without Ben Roethlisberger, so regardless of Pickett's progression the team is going to start whoever gives them the best chance to compete.
