Is Jaylen Warren playing tonight? Why Steelers RB is off to slow start in Week 15

With Najee Harris gone, the Pittsburgh Steelers have turned to Jaylen Warren as their No. 1 running back this season.

While his usage has been frustrating at times this season, Warren has been a solid back for the Steelers and leads the team in rushing yards this season.

However, Warren is off to a slow start in the Week 15 game against the Miami Dolphins. Here's why.

Is Jaylen Warren playing tonight?

Yes, Warren is active on Monday night, despite being a late addition to the injury report on Monday with an illness.

Warren did get a snap on the team's opening drive, but he did not get a touch and instead Kenneth Gainwell got two before the Steelers went three-and-out.

Don't be surprised if we see more of Gainwell on Monday night, as Warren might not be 100% due to his illness.
