Steelers Optimistic James Conner Will Return In Week 11
6 years agoWith it looking more and more likely that Le'Veon Bell won't report to the team, the Steelers will need running back James Conner this year to keep up their playoff hopes. Conner, who is currently in concussion protocol after Thursday's win over the Panthers, could miss Week 11's meeting with the Jaguars, but the team remains optimistic that he'll be ready. In the event he does miss time, Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley would likely split time in the backfield.
