The Steelers had just gotten their offensive line back to full health before Warren’s injury, with left tackle Broderick Jones (groin), left guard Isaac Seumalo (undisclosed) and center Ryan McCollum (left leg) all returning to mostly full participation in practice on Sunday.
Backup tackle Calvin Anderson, who has a lower-body soft tissue injury, also missed Sunday’s practice. That elevated Steven Jones to the second team at right tackle, leaving a third unit of only Nick Broeker, Doug Nester and Aidan Williams.
The Steelers signed Warren on May 12 after a tryout at rookie minicamp. A 6-foot-5 1/2, 328-pound offensive lineman from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Warren came to the Steelers as a tryout from Lindenwood.
Warren started out at as a guard at Lindenwood, which is in Lake Charles, Missouri, in 2021, the program’s final season at the NCAA Division II level. In 2022, Warren and Lindenwood moved up, becoming members of the Ohio Valley Conference in Division I.
Warren made four starts and played six games as a true freshman in 2021, earning All-GLVC third-team honors. In 2022, he started all 10 games at left guard and was an All-OVC second-team selection.
For his junior season in 2023, Warren switched from left guard out to left tackle. The transition was a smooth one, as he allowed just two sacks on the season, per Pro Football Focus.
In 2024, Warren and the Lions offensive line helped pave the way for an OVC-best 173.7 yards per game. After the season, he was invited to participate in the East-West Shrine Bowl, where he was first scouted by the Steelers.
