Steelers RB Jaylen Warren played a season-low 33% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Ravens. His share and 26 total snaps marked a dip vs. Week 10 but lined up more closely with Warren's Week 9 role. He notably trailed Najee Harris 21-13 in pass routes, though, an area in which Warren had reclaimed a lead over the previous three weeks.
Warren entered the game questionable with a back injury that kept him out of Thursday's practice and limited him Friday. That almost certainly factored into his playing-time dip.
It was also the second game back from injury for Cordarrelle Patterson, who followed 8 snaps (10%) in Week 10 by playing 12 (15%) against Baltimore.
Patterson garnered just 1 carry and 1 target, though, while Warren worked a clear second to Harris. He carried nine times to Harris' 18 but trailed him just 5-4 in targets.
I'd bet on some playing-time rebound for Warren in Week 12, assuming better health during the week. But the workload splits should remain similar.
We'll see whether he can work back ahead of Harris in the passing game.
