Jaylen Warren Injury downplayed by coach

Coach Mike Tomlin noted Tuesday that Warren "is out probably out for this week," but added that the running back's hamstring issue is "not anything that's a long-term concern," Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

While it's probably safe to assume that Warren won't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions, Tomlin's words Tuesday would appear to bode well with regard to the running back's chances of being available for Week 1 action. Once he's back on the field, Warren will resume working in Pittsburgh's backfield in tandem with Najee Harris, a looming time-share that should result in both players remaining on the fantasy radar this season.
