Jaylen Samuels (knee) out for Steelers month-plus

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels (knee) will be out "at least a month" following a Monday knee scope, head coach Mike Tomlin said.

What It Means:

Samuels injured his left knee and was seen on crutches following the scope. James Conner will take on more work while Samuels is sidelined, with fourth-round rookie Benny Snell likely backing him up. The Steelers visit the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.

The Chargers are 18th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game. They're yielding a combined 21.2 FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs.
