This is great news obviously. Warren suffered a meniscus tear during the last week of training camp. When Tomlin made the announcement, he said Warren’s projected recovery was approximately four weeks, so this would put him ahead of schedule. The Steelers were never going to carry two long snappers on the roster to start the season, but this certainly makes decision making a lot easier on September 7th.
