The Pittsburgh Steelers made a few different roster moves ahead of the Week 11 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Most notably, they signed running back Jonathan Ward to the active roster and placed cornerback C.J. Henderson on the reserve/injured list.
The second of those two transactions probably isn’t a good sign for running back Jaylen Warren. The third-year back was added to the team injury report with a back ailment on November 14. He’s officially listed as questionable for Week 11.
Fellow running back Najee Harris was also on the injury report with an ankle issue. However, he fully practiced on November 14 and 15 and doesn’t have an injury designation for Week 11.
Henderson landed on the team’s reserve/injured list because of a neck injury he suffered during practice. He didn’t practice on November 14 or 15.
A former first-round pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars from the 2020 NFL draft, Henderson has spent most of this season on Pittsburgh’s practice squad.
Steelers Add RB Jonathan Ward to Week 11 Roster
Like Henderson, Ward has spent most of the 2024 campaign on the Steelers practice squad. But he has been active for four regular season games as either a practice squad elevation or late-week roster signing as he was on November 16.
In those four games with the Steelers this season, Ward has rushed for 22 yards on 5 carries. He has played 10 offensive snaps and 59 snaps on special teams.
