James Conner (shoulder) to be limited for Steelers at start of week
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is being evaluated for a shoulder injury and will be limited to start the week, head coach Mike Tomlin said.
What It Means:
Conner suffered the injury at the end of Monday night's win over the Miami Dolphins after the outcome had already been decided. Tomlin isn't ruling Conner out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Jaylen Samuels has recovered from his knee injury and will be in an every-down role if Conner isn't available. Benny Snell suffered a knee injury on Monday.
Conner is averaging 15.7 FP per game this season. He has 380 rushing yards (3.9 YPC), 236 receiving yards, 29 receptions, and 6 touchdowns. The Colts are tied for fifth-worst in the NFL in yards allowed per carry.
