Jaylen Warren Exits Steelers' Win with Knee Injury After Productive Outing

Jaylen Warren, who signed a two-year contract with the Steelers in September 2025, rushed 10 times for 62 yards and caught both of his targets for five yards in Pittsburgh's 34-12 victory over the Bengals on November 16, 2025. However, he played only one snap after sustaining a knee injury in the third quarter, according to Alan Saunders of Pittsburgh Steelers Now. His 2025 advanced stats show a 21.2% broken tackle rate and 88.5% catch rate. Earlier in the season, he had 14 rushes for 70 yards and 21 receiving yards against the Chargers (Nov 9), and punched in two scores with 31 rushing yards and minus-2 receiving yards against the Colts (Nov 2). In October, he recorded 62 rushing yards and 11 receiving yards against Green Bay (Oct 26), broke out with 127 rushing yards and 31 receiving yards against the Bengals (Oct 16), and had 52 rushing yards with 11 receiving yards against the Browns (Oct 12). Maurice Jones-Drew of NFL.com projected in July 2025 that Warren is set for a career year and will likely lead Pittsburgh's backfield production, especially after Najee Harris's departure, noting Warren's three-down skill set. His career high is 1,154 scrimmage yards, achieved in the 2023 regular season.
