According to ESPN, the Rams will be giving most of the snaps at running back to Royce Freeman and Darrell Henderson vs. the Steelers in the absence of Kyren Williams.
From CBS Sports Melanie Collins:
RB Aaron Jones is questionable. Says his hamstring is best it has felt all season. Matt LaFleur said Jones would be on a snap count if he plays - wouldn't specify, but added not to expect 30 touches for Jones. ... All that could mean more work for A.J. Dillon.
DK Metcalf will be a true game-time decision.
