Mike Tomlin Optimistic About Jaylen Warren's Availability for Week 12 Against Bears

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism regarding running back Jaylen Warren's availability for Week 12 against the Bears, despite an ankle injury sustained in Sunday's win over the Bengals. Tomlin noted that Warren's practice participation might be limited early in the week. Warren leads the Steelers with 536 rushing yards and two touchdowns, along with 25 receptions for 219 yards and a touchdown. If Warren cannot play, Kenneth Gainwell would likely handle the majority of carries. Tomlin also indicated that cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) is expected to return, while edge rusher Alex Highsmith (pectoral) will be limited in practice.
