Steelers RB Dealing With New Injury
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren’s season has hit another roadblock, as a knee injury could hamper his chances of playing in their next game.
According to head coach Mike Tomlin, Warren didn’t look healthy enough to play after the first half, so he was pulled.
“Jaylen Warren wasn’t able to finish there late in the second half,” Tomlin said in his press conference. “I pulled him from the game. It just didn’t look like he was running smoothly. We’ll evaluate him.”
This is a frustrating development for Warren, who was coming off a game against the Denver Broncos where he had nine rushes for 42 yards.
All this comes after a hamstring injury that kept him out for much of the preseason and limited him to just two carries for seven yards in their season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
According to Nick Farabaugh of PennLive, Warren had an MRI on his knee following the game, signaling that the injury may be worse than previously thought. Farabaugh also remarked that the knee injury has nothing to do with his previous hamstring injury and that Warren would be limited in practice to begin the week. However, nothing concrete is known yet about the severity of his injury.
Warren is not the only one suffering from injury in the backfield. Najee Harris suffered an arm injury this past weekend and was seen wearing a sling on his arm on Monday. However, Harris will not have any practice limitations coming into this week.
The Steelers will likely to have to rely heavily on the services of Cordarelle Patterson, who played both wide receiver and running back against the Los Angeles Chargers. With neither running back at full strength, Patterson will have to step up and create plays for the Steelers offense. In his limited rushes against the Chargers, Patterson had 4 rushes for 33 yards.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts
Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.
The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.
Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.
Why do bees swarm?
Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.
Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.
With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
