September 27, 2025 — Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is expected to suit up for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin, according to ESPN. Warren had been limited in practice all week, with the team listing his injury as a knee issue and a “resting vet” designation.
Warren’s 2025 Season So Far
Warren, 26, has had a solid start to the season. In three starts, he has rushed 43 times for 132 yards but is still looking for his first touchdown of the year. On top of that, he’s been a key asset in the passing game, with 11 receptions for 142 yards and one touchdown.
As the Steelers’ starting running back after the departure of Najee Harris to the Los Angeles Chargers in the offseason, Warren is stepping up to fill a significant role. In his 51 career games (3 starts), he has accumulated 2,842 yards from scrimmage and 7 touchdowns.
Steelers Add Trey Sermon as Precaution
In response to Warren’s knee issue, the Steelers activated Trey Sermon from the practice squad as a precautionary measure for Sunday’s Week 4 matchup. Sermon could see some action if Warren’s injury worsens or for a change of pace, though Warren is expected to start.
International Game in Dublin
This game will be part of the NFL’s international series, and both teams (Steelers and Vikings) are entering the contest with 2-1 records, looking to build momentum early in the season.
Warren’s presence will be crucial for the Steelers as they aim to stay competitive in this high-stakes game across the pond.
