Jaylen Samuels (knee) 'ready to go' for Steelers Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels (knee) is "ready to go," head coach Mike Tomlin said.

What It Means:

Samuels hasn't played since Week 5, but with James Conner (shoulder) and Benny Snell (knee) both banged up, he may find himself in a workhorse role on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. More will be known on Conner's status as the week progresses.

Samuels averaged 109.3 scrimmage yards on 18.0 touches a game in three starts with Conner sidelined last season. The Colts are tied for fifth-worst in the NFL in yards allowed per carry.
