Jaylen Warren Makes Preseason Debut as Steelers' Starter

Friday, August 21, 9:49 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled five carries for 17 yards in a 17-0 preseason loss to the New York Jets. Warren, who rested alongside backfield mate Rico Dowdle in last week's preseason opener, drew the start Friday night and played nine total snaps. He and Dowdle alternated drives over Pittsburgh's first two possessions before splitting the work on the third. Neither player was particularly efficient in the contest as the Steelers struggled to run the ball all night, but it was nonetheless encouraging to see Warren get some action as the team's lead back. Fantasy managers should anticipate a relatively even split between Warren and Dowdle heading into the regular season, with a hot-hand approach potentially dictating the workload early in the year. The 27-year-old will have one more opportunity to tune up Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills.

Breece Hall News

Breece Hall Still on Track for Week 1

Monday, August 24, 9:52 AM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall continues to make progress from the groin injury he suffered last week. Antwan V. Staley reports that Hall is moving well, and head coach Aaron Glenn still anticipates having him ready for Week 1 against Tennessee. Hall went down during practice on Aug. 17 and was given a two-to-three-week recovery timetable the following day. So far, nothing has changed that expectation. The 25-year-old is coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season, finishing 2025 with 243 carries for a career-high 1,065 yards and four touchdowns. He also caught 36 passes for 350 yards and another score. There is still time before the opener, and the Jets don't appear to have any reason to rush him through the final stretch of August. For now, Hall remains on schedule to be available when the games start counting.
