Gareth Warren’s roster exit signals depth-chart adjustments at tackle for Pittsburgh. Warren, who joined as an undrafted 2024 signee from Lindenwood, faced an injury designation after Week 2 of the preseason due to a concussion concern. The Steelers needed the cap/roster space for Willekes, and Warren’s injury status clarified his fate this cycle, emphasizing the team’s focus on health and depth at tackle.

Gareth Warren is currently wearing No. 69 for the Steelers, continuing the tradition associated with this significant number, which has been worn by notable players in the franchise's past. His role as an offensive tackle places him in a crucial position to impact the team's performance this season.
