Not playing Week 17
Pittsburgh has ruled Conner (quadriceps) out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: With Pittsburgh needing some help in Week 17 to punch its ticket to the postseason, Conner's 2019 campaign may well be over after he experienced another setback on the health front coming out of last Sunday's loss to the Jets. He'll be sidelined for the sixth time this season in the regular-season finale, likely leaving Benny Snell, Kerrith Whyte and Jaylen Samuels to take on most of the snaps and touches out of the backfield. Conner concludes the regular season with 715 yards from scrimmage…read more

Misses practice Thursday
Conner (quad) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: With Conner listed as a non-participant for second straight day, his status for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Ravens remains murky. If he's ruled out for the contest, Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels and Kerrith Whyte would be in line to combine to handle the Steelers' Week 17 rushing duties.

Sidelined Wednesday
Conner (quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: More news on the running back's status will arrive Thursday, but coach Mike Tomlin previously noted that Conner's Week 17 availability "is very much in question." If Conner is limited Sunday against the Ravens or withheld from action entirely, Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels and Kerrith Whyte would handle added work out of the Steelers' backfield.

Status up in air for season finale
Coach Mike Tomlin called Conner's (quadriceps) status for Week 17 at Baltimore "very much in question," Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Conner has been unable to avoid the injury bug this season. At the moment, he's tending to a quad issue that he sustained on his final carry of Week 16, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. While the results of an MRI haven't been released, Tomlin's comments aren't exactly encouraging for Conner's availability for the season finale. If he misses his sixth game of the campaign Sunday, Benny Snell Jr. and Jaylen Samuels would be in line for more prominent roles.

Gets quad checked out
Conner underwent an MRI to assess the quad injury he sustained on his final carry in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: For now, Conner's status for this weekend's regular-season finale against the Ravens is unclear. If he's unable to go or limited, Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels and Kerrith Whyte would handle the Steelers' Week 17 backfield duties.

Exits game with thigh injury
Conner was forced of Sunday's game against the Jets with a thigh injury.
Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Conner carried six times for 32 yards. In his absence, Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels and Kerrith Whyte are on hand to handle the Steelers' backfield duties.

Resumes lead back role
Conner (shoulder) rushed eight times for 42 yards and caught four passes (five targets) for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Eight rushes may suggest that the team was taking it easy on their lead back in his first week back in action, but those eight carries led the backfield by a decent margin (the next-highest total was two carries). The Steelers simply could not do much against Buffalo's tough defense, and this resulted in few opportunities for all of the team's skill players. Expect Conner to get more involved in an easier matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

Returns to action Sunday night
Conner (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Bills, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Conner, who began the 2019 season as the Steelers' clear lead back, will thus see his first game action since Week 11, though it is unclear how large of a workload he'll see in his return to the team's backfield. With that in mind, look for Benny Snell and Jaylen Samuels -- both of whom have been filling in for Conner -- to remain in the mix in Week 15. The potential committee arrangement makes all three backs hit-or-miss fantasy options Sunday night.

Likely to share load in Week 15
Conner (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills but is expected to play, will likely split snaps and touches with Jaylen Samuels and Benny Snell in his return to the lineup, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though Conner logged full practices Wednesday through Friday, the Steelers are apparently inclined to ease him back into the mix after he sat out five of the team's last six games due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Snell has emerged as the lead option on the ground of late, but he'll likely notice at least a slight downturn in his carry count with Conner back in the fold after toting the ball no fewer than 16 times in any of the past three weeks. Samuels, meanwhile, profiles as…read more

Expected to play Sunday
Conner (shoulder), who is listed as questionable on the official injury report for Sunday's game against the Bills, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Conner was a full participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, so this report aligns with the prevailing belief that he'll put an end to his three-game absence. However, fantasy managers will want to double check his status prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Because of the time he's missed lately, Conner could be eased back into the mix with a more limited snap count rather than filling a high-volume lead role like he did in the Steelers' first seven games.

Questionable, despite full practice
Conner (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Conner was a full participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but he'll take an injury designation into the weekend nonetheless after the AC joint sprain in his right shoulder sidelined him for all but one of the Steelers' previous six games. Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Conner previously told teammates that he believes he'll need surgery at some point to address the issue, but the running back looks like he'll attempt to play through the injury for now.

Logs full practice
Conner (shoulder) was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: Coach Mike Tomlin has yet to confirm Conner will put an end to a three-game absence Sunday against the Bills, but things seem to be trending in that direction based on the running back's lack of limitations for the first practice of Week 15. If Conner is indeed back in the mix this weekend, it's unclear if he would immediately step into a clear No. 1 role out of the backfield, as Benny Snell and Kerrith Whyte have both had their moments over the past three weeks.

In line to practice this week
Conner (shoulder) is expected to practice this week, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The proclamation from coach Mike Tomlin isn't a surprise, as Conner has been listed as a limited participant on five consecutive injury reports. Still, the running back has appeared in just one of the Steelers' last six games (Week 11). Assuming he makes it all the way back for Sunday's contest against the Bills, he should retake the No. 1 role in Pittsburgh's backfield.

Expected back Week 15
Conner (shoulder), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, is expected to return to action Week 15 versus the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Conner will be sidelined for the fifth time in six games due to the sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, paving the way for Benny Snell to carry the load on the ground for the Steelers, while Jaylen Samuels handles most of the passing-down work. Though it appears Conner may be ready to end his streak of absences Week 15, Garafolo notes that the running back previously has told teammates that he didn't think he would be able to play through the injury without getting surgery first. With that…read more

Missing another game Sunday
Conner (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest in Arizona, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Conner's prediction from Thursday has come to pass, meaning he'll miss his fifth game in the past six weeks. While he continues to recover from an AC joint injury in his right shoulder, the Steelers will turn to Benny Snell and Jaylen Samuels out of the backfield.

Says he won't play Sunday
Conner (shoulder) said Thursday that he won't play Sunday against the Cardinals, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Conner, who last suited up Week 11, has been taking scout team reps this week and will thus look toward a possible return to action Week 15 against the Bills. The running back approached Week 13 action with an official doubtful tag, so it's possible that could be the case again this week, but he can safely be removed from Week 14 fantasy consideration. In his anticipated ongoing absence, Benny Snell is in line to continue to head the Steelers' backfield Sunday, while added…read more

Limited practice Wednesday
Conner (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Conner, who last suited up Week 11, is making progress, but his status for Sunday's game against the Cardinals remains uncertain. If he's limited or out this weekend, added snaps would be available for Benny Snell, who headed the team's backfield the last two games. Extra work would also be available for Jaylen Samuels and Kerrith Whyte, to lesser degrees.

Considered questionable
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Conner (shoulder) is "questionable as we stand here today" for Sunday's game at Arizona, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Tomlin indicated Conner was improving but couldn't say if or how much he'd be able to practice this week. The 24-year-old finished last week with a pair of limited practices before being listed as doubtful, so he should be participating in some capacity this week if he truly is improving. Benny Snell rushed 16 times for 63 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns, and he figures to again work as the early-down back should Conner be unable to return Week 14, with Jaylen Samuels in…read more

Inactive Sunday
Conner (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: With Conner still sidelined, Benny Snell profiles as the team's lead back in Week 13 after rushing 21 times for 98 yards in last weekend's 16-10 win over the Bengals. Meanwhile, Jaylen Samuels should see his share of work Sunday as a pass catcher out of the Steelers' backfield. Additionally, Kerrith Whyte and Trey Edmunds could also factor into the team's Conner replacement plan against Cleveland.

Doubtful for Week 13
Pittsburgh lists Conner (shoulder) as doubtful for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Conner is trending toward his fourth absence of the season and his second in a row after he was unable to practice in anything more than a limited capacity this week. Assuming Conner is ultimately included among the Steelers' seven inactive players Sunday, Benny Snell would profile as the team's lead option on the ground after carrying 21 times for 98 yards in the Week 12 win over the Bengals.

Questionable for Week 13
Conner (shoulder) -- who sat out Week 12 action -- remains iffy for this Sunday's game against the Browns, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Analysis: The report suggests that the Steelers seem more hopeful about the Week 13 status of top wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion/knee). Additionally, the team may be inclined to err on the side of caution with Conner, considering the emergence of rookie Benny Snell, who logged 21 carries for 98 yards in this past Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals.

Analysis: Conner was knocked out of the Steelers' Week 11 loss at Cleveland after aggravating the AC joint injury in his right shoulder, which kept him sidelined at practice this week. While he takes a seat for the third time in four contests, some combination of Jaylen Samuels, Benny Snell and Trey Edmunds will handle the reps out of the backfield.

Adam Schefter of ESPN suggests that it "would be a mild upset" if Conner (shoulder) was available to play Sunday versus the Bengals.
Analysis: In his return from a two-game absence for a Thursday night loss to the Browns in Week 11, Conner aggravated an AC joint injury in his right shoulder, which limited him to just 13 offensive snaps before he was pulled from the contest. If he's unable to suit up this weekend, added backfield work would be on tap for Jaylen Samuels, Trey Edmunds and Benny Snell.

Analysis: In his return last Thursday at Cleveland from a two-game absence, Conner aggravated the AC joint injury in his right shoulder, containing him to just 13 of 74 offensive snaps. According to Pelissero, Conner's injury isn't worse than it was previously, but his upcoming availability will depend on how he feels. The Steelers will take the practice field Wednesday, at which point Conner's health should become clearer.

Conner ran for 10 yards on five carries and caught one of two targets for six yards Thursday in Pittsburgh's 21-7 loss to Cleveland before departing in the first half after aggravating a right shoulder injury.
Analysis: Returning after missing the last two games with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, Conner struggled to find room to run, with seven of his 10 yards coming on one carry. He re-injured the shoulder in the second quarter and was initially labeled questionable to return before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

"I can't make any guarantees, but as of right now I am feeling very good and things are very confident for me playing on Thursday (at Cleveland)."
Analysis: Listed as a full participant on the Steelers' first two Week 11 injury reports, Conner is trending toward his first game action since Week 8. While the team practiced indoors Tuesday, he indicated to Omar Ruiz of NFL Network that the session was more of a walk-through than a true practice. As a result, Conner's status on Wednesday's report will give a better indication of his chances to return Thursday.

Connor (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Conner made just one appearance at practice last week before being ruled out for a second straight game, the result of a separated right shoulder. It appears the running back has made the requisite progress in his recovery, but his status still bears watching when the Steelers take the practice field before Thursday's game at Cleveland. If he returns to action Week 11, Conner likely will push Trey Edmunds back to a depth role with Jaylen Samuels acting as the primary change-of-pace option.

Analysis: Conner practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, marking his first appearance on the field since Oct. 26. Having said that -- and despite optimism from coach Mike Tomlin -- it appears the Steelers will be without Conner for a second straight game.

Tomlin's comments imply Conner may be inhibited in practice this week, if he takes the field at all, but he also doesn't need reps during the week to be ready for game day. The Steelers next suit up Sunday against the Colts, so Wednesday's injury report will be telling for Conner and the entire backfield as a whole. Aside from Conner, Jaylen Samuels has missed the…read more

Leaves with shoulder in sling
Conner suffered an AC joint shoulder injury Monday against the Dolphins, but the severity remains unknown, Mike Giardi of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Conner did not speak to reporters in the locker room after the win and was spotted exiting the stadium with his right shoulder in a sling. There's really no telling how serious the injury is until more information is made available. Conner anchored the Steelers offense Monday night, running the ball a season-high 23 times for 145 yards while adding three receptions for five yards in the contest. Look for more updates on his status to come when the Steelers resume practice later this week.

Good to go
Conner (quadriceps) is not listed on the Steelers' Week 8 injury report.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Jaylen Samuels (knee) practiced fully Thursday, so the Steelers are slated to have their backfield at full strength Monday night against 0-6 Miami. Conner, who is no longer feeling the effects of the quad injury that forced him out of action early in Week 6 -- is thus looking at a very nice matchup, as he's slated to take aim at the Dolphins defense, which has surrendered an average of 160.8 yards per game on the ground to date. Only the Bengals (189.0) are allowing more.

Expects to play Monday
Conner (quadriceps) expects to play in Monday's game against the Dolphins, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A well-timed bye allowed Conner to rest his quad injury, one that forced him out in the second half of a 24-17 win over the Chargers in Week 6. He reportedly looked healthy earlier this week, running around the locker room in a fit of celebration after he received a gaming headset from wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. In any case, the Steelers will release their initial Week 8 injury report Thursday, and it sounds like Conner should either be a limited or full participant. Benny Snell is the…read more

Scores twice, but suffers injury
Conner carried the ball 16 times for 41 yards and a touchdown, adding seven receptions for 78 yards and another score in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers. However, he suffered a quadriceps injury in the second half and didn't return.
Analysis: While he was seen standing on the sideline after his exit, Pittsburgh's lead back did not receive another carry even with the team trying to drain the clock in the fourth quarter. When he was on the field, however, Conner and the Steelers' defense teamed up and carried a squad that was starting a third-string quarterback to an impressive upset over Philip Rivers and the Chargers. Averaging 2.6 yards per carry looks poor on paper, but the 24-year-old was constantly dealing with eight-man fronts…read more

Dealing with quad injury
Conner is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a quad injury, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Analysis: Conner had a huge first half against the Chargers, but it remains to be seen how much more he will be able to do Sunday night. Conner's status will be updated further when he either returns to the game or more information is released.

Scores in loss
Conner ran for 55 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries during Sunday's 26-23 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Conner gave the Steelers the lead late in the third quarter, reaching out across the goal line for a one-yard run, his third touchdown in his last four games. Somewhat surprisingly, Conner did not see a target in the passing game after averaging five per game heading into Sunday. Expect that to change, particularly if Mason Rudolph (concussion) is out against the Chargers. With undrafted rookie Devlin Hodges likely to get the start in that case, Conner would need to do a lot of the heavy…read more

Good to go Week 5
Conner (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As he suggested would be the case, Conner practiced fully Friday, erasing any concern about his availability for the weekend. The third-year back is averaging only 3.2 yards per carry through four games but could find more open real estate against a Ravens defense that has yielded 4.9 per attempt this season, a bottom-six mark in the NFL.

Conner (ankle) indicated that he put in a full practice Friday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Misses practice Wednesday
Conner (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Conner hurt his ankle this past Monday against the Bengals and was mentioned Wednesday by coach Mike Tomlin as one of the Steelers who "may be limited some this week," whose "practice participation and the quality of it (will) be our guide in terms of their game availability." If Conner is less than 100 percent or ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, added work would be available for Jaylen Samuels, as well as Benny Snell, to a lesser degree.

Conner (ankle) told Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh that he may be able to practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Conner emerged from Monday's 27-3 win against the Bengals with an ankle injury, which he called "fine" while stating he doesn't have a tear. He'll continue to receive treatment this week, with his status at ensuing practices the thing to watch out for. Wednesday's injury report will provide the first indication of his Week 5 availability.

Picks up ankle injury
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Conner may be limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Conner tweaked the ankle during Monday's win over the Bengals, but it didn't keep him out of the game entirely, as the tailback was able to break out with 125 total yards and a touchdown. The Steelers will now be cautious during this shorter week of preparation, so look for updates on Conner to come once the team releases its first injury report.

Breaks out with 125 total yards
Conner rushed 10 times for 42 yards and caught all eight of his targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 27-3 win over Cincinnati.
Analysis: Conner entered the game averaging only 2.9 yards per run and got off to another slow start with just 18 rushing yards in the first half. That included a failed fourth and one conversion on Pittsburgh's second possession of the game. As much as he has struggled running the ball Conner has shined as a pass catcher, making amends two possessions later by taking a Mason Rudolph pass 21 yards for a score. The Steelers will need Conner to have another solid game in Week 5 against Baltimore, whose…read more

Stifled by Niners
Conner carried the ball 13 times for 43 yards and caught four of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: While Mason Rudolph was able to generate a couple of big plays late in his first career NFL start, for the most part, the Niners defense got away with stacking the line and preventing Conner from building up any kind of momentum. Even so, the 43 rushing yards were actually a season high for the third-year RB, who's had a rough start to 2019 no matter who's been under center for Pittsburgh. Conner could have a better opportunity to get going in Week 4 against a Bengals defense that's been…read more

Analysis: Conner isn't sure if he'll practice Wednesday, but he's doubling down on his statement from Monday about not missing any games. His practice participation will be closely monitored this week, with Jaylen Samuels next in line if Conner ultimately isn't able to play or handle his usual workload.

Believes he will play in Week 3
Conner (knee) expressed confidence Monday that he'll be able to suit up for Week 3's game against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per the report, the running back avoided a serious injury in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, and it now looks like he may not miss any action. That's a huge break for the Steelers, who will be without QB Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) for the rest of the season. Looking ahead, the team figures to lean heavily on Conner, as well as wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, who profile as the team's top two playmakers in an offense now helmed by Mason Rudolph.

Optimism with regard to knee injury
Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, "multiple teammates" believe that Conner's knee issue is not serious.
Analysis: Fowler adds that "the overall sentiment in the locker room is (that Conner's) issue is manageable," while noting that the running back walked through the Steelers' locker room and seemed to be moving fine. While this encouraging context doesn't preclude Conner from missing some time, it appears as though the team won't lose him for long, which is a welcome bit of good news on a day in which it was revealed that QB Ben Roethlisberger will miss the rest of the season with an elbow injury.

Getting tests on knee
Conner will have tests Monday to determine the severity of his knee injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Conner's departure from Sunday's 28-26 loss to Seattle left Jaylen Samuels in the lead role at the end of the game. With Ben Roethlisberger in the process of determining if he needs elbow surgery, the already struggling Pittsburgh offense is facing serious issues ahead of a Week 3 tilt with the 49ers. Samuels averaged 47 snaps, 14 carries, four catches and 109.3 scrimmage yards over a three-game stretch late last season when Conner was out with a knee injury.

Good to go
Conner (illness) returned to a full practice Thursday.
Analysis: Conner was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an illness, but his full participation Thursday puts the running back on track to play Sunday against the Seahawks. Conner was held to 21 yards on 10 carries while adding 44 yards on four receptions in Week 1's 33-3 loss to the Patriots, but his limited usage in the ground game in that contest was dictated by the game flow in a tilt that got away from the Steelers.

Dealing with illness
Conner was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: In the Steelers' Week 1 loss at New England, game flow necessitated that the offense abandon the run, which resulted in just 10 carries for 21 yards for Conner. Fortunately, his adeptness as a pass catcher salvaged his night somewhat, as he gathered in all four targets for 44 yards. If he's able to ditch the illness by Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Conner may have a tough go of it against a Seahawks defense that contained the Bengals to 34 rushing yards in the season opener.

Held in check by Pats
Conner was held to 21 yards on 10 carries while adding 44 yards on four receptions in Sunday's 33-3 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Conner was absolutely stymied on the ground by the Patriots' hybrid defensive fronts. If there were any positives to take away from the blowout loss, it would be that the second-year back dominated the backfield touches (received 10 of the Steelers' 12 half back carries) and remained the primary receiving back in most situations. Those were the two minor concerns regarding Conner's stock heading into the season, so expect the talented runner to dust himself off and see the bulk of the running…read more

Posts 56 yards in brief outing
Conner rushed eight times for 41 yards and added 15 receiving yards on two catches in Sunday's 18-6 preseason win over Tennessee.
Analysis: Conner did that damage in just one quarter of action as head coach Mike Tomlin didn't want to take a chance and leave his starters out there too long. The 24-year-old looked even better after gaining 28 yards in his last preseason appearance. Conner is lined up to lead the Steelers' backfield for the second straight season, but he may cede some receiving work to Jaylen Samuels after racking up 55 catches and 497 receiving yards in 2018.

Solid workload in preseason win
Conner rushed six times for 28 yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Steelers' 17-7 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday.
Analysis: Conner was reasonably efficient with his limited opportunities while playing on the first four series before giving way to Jaylen Samuels. The third-year back is expected to take on another hefty workload this season, but the presence of both Samuels and rookie Benny Snell should help keep Conner fresh and set him up to potentially play all 16 games for the first time in his career.

Expecting shared workload
Conner expects the Steelers to spread out backfield work this season, Jonathan Bombulie of The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. "I think it'll be spread out pretty evenly," Conner said. "I've seen [Benny Snell's] college tape. He's also learned the offense really quick. I know he'll be ready to play this year. Jaylen [Samuels], obviously, is going to make a lot of plays, too."
Analysis: Conner's snap share topped 72 percent in 11 of his 13 games last season, including seven weeks at 84 percent or higher. It was a different story in Week 17 after he returned from a knee injury, with Samuels getting most of the playing time on passing downs. Conner still figures to take most of the carries in 2019, but it makes sense to remove him from the field in obvious passing situations, considering Samuels had 201 receptions for 1,851 yards and 19 touchdowns in his four-year career at NC…read more

Locked in atop backfield
Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert pointed to Conner and Jaylen Samuels as part of the impetus for the organization's decision not to place a transition tag on Le'Veon Bell, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: With the Bell saga finally coming to an end, Pittsburgh will move forward with Conner and Samuels in the backfield, hoping to regain some semblance of balance after ranking second in the NFL in pass-play rate (67.4 percent) in 2018. Conner did his part with 973 rushing yards, 497 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns in 13 games, though he trailed off in the second half of the season even before he missed three weeks with a knee injury. The backfield arrangement in the Steelers' Week 17 win over…read more

Totals 94 yards from scrimmage
Conner (ankle) ran for 64 yards on 14 carries and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 16-13 win over Cincinnati.
Analysis: After missing the past three games due to an injury, Conner returned to his role as the primary rusher for the season finale. With Le'Veon Bell in a season-long holdout, Conner stepped up and finished up the 2018 season with 215 carries for 973 yards (4.5 average) and 12 touchdowns. He also had 55 catches (on 71 targets) for 497 yards and one touchdown in 13 games. He has two years remaining on his current contract, and with Bell almost certainly playing for someone else next season, Conner…read more

Suits up Sunday
Conner (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Conner -- who last suited up in Week 13 -- will give it a go Sunday, but it remains to be seen if he'll log as heavy a workload as he did prior to sustaining his ankle injury. With that in mind, Jaylen Samuels, who filled in well in place of Conner over the last couple of weeks, is available to spell Conner when needed in both early-down and obvious passing situations. On the plus side, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com relays that Conner "looked pretty fluid on a few cuts" when briefly testing out his…read more

Appears on track to play
Conner appears to be in line to play Sunday against the Bengals after testing out his ankle in warmups, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: We'll confirm the running back's Week 17 status, either way, upon the release of the Steelers' inactives in advance of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff. However, at this time it looks like Conner is poised to return to action following a three-game absence.

True game-time decision
Conner (ankle) did less in practice this week than initially perceived and is a true game-time decision, Fox's Jay Glazer reported on their pregame show Sunday morning.
Analysis: The general expectation was that Conner would play, but now it appears that isn't as certain. Moreover, even if he plays, he may not be as heavily used in the offense as initially expected.

Analysis: Even though Conner put in a trio of full practices this week, the Steelers want to be sure the sprained ankle that sidelined him for the past three games isn't an issue in the hours leading up to the contest before his status is confirmed. Assuming Conner avoids any setbacks in the workout and gains clearance to suit up, he'll likely take back his starting role, but not necessarily the huge volume he previously enjoyed. Jaylen Samuels has thrived as the lead back in Conner's absence, which…read more

Game-time decision
Conner (ankle) will have his status for Sunday's game against Cincinnati determined after he participates in pregame warmups, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Conner, who has missed the last three games, took a questionable tag into the weekend despite practicing fully Wednesday through Friday. The running back is determined to play, but the team wants to get a look at him on the field prior to making a decision. If Conner suits up, there's a chance he could see lower usage than normal coming off injury, especially after Jaylen Samuels thrived in his absence.

Questionable, but expected to play
Conner (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals after practicing fully all week.
Analysis: Per Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Conner, who missed the Steelers' past three games with a high-ankle sprain, is expected to play this weekend after logging full practices throughout the week. Official confirmation of the running back's Week 17 status will arrive upon the release of the team's inactives in advance of Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff. If Conner is cleared to play as expected, Jaylen Samuels would presumably revert to a complementary role in the Pittsburgh offense.

Returns to full practice
Conner (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Conner, who has missed the Steelers' last three games with an ankle sprain, thus appears to be trending toward active status for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bengals, barring any setbacks. For his part, however, coach Mike Tomlin was rather restrained in his expectations for Conner, despite the full practice. "I thought his participation was on the upswing at the end of last week with his ankle," Tomlin said. "We'll be watching him closely to see if he can be a positive…read more

Uncertain for Week 17
Coach Mike Tomlin indicated Tuesday that he views Conner (ankle) as questionable for the Steelers' Week 17 game against the Bengals, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Analysis: Tomlin noted that Conner's availability for the regular-season finale will hinge on the running back's participation in practices Wednesday through Friday. Conner was unable to log any on-field activity in practice at any point before Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Saints, resulting in him missing a third straight contest. If Conner fails to demonstrate meaningful progress within the next few days, Jaylen Samuels would again be positioned to lead the Pittsburgh backfield for another game.

Ruled out this week
Conner has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Conner didn't practice all week and will be sidelined for the third consecutive game. That paves the way for Jaylen Samuels to act as the lead option out of the Pittsburgh backfield, with Stevan Ridley on hand in a supporting role.

Misses another practice
Conner (ankle) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Conner has missed the Steelers' last two games and back-to-back missed practices this week hint at another absence Sunday against the Saints. If he ends up sitting out that contest, rookie Jaylen Samuels would once again head the Pittsburgh backfield in Week 16, with Stevan Ridley on hand to work in a complementary role.

Unable to practice Wednesday
Conner (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. "I am trying. It's day-by-day," Conner said Wednesday, in reference to his outlook for Sunday's game against the Saints. "These high-ankle sprains are deceiving. I can walk around fine, not limping. When I am out there on the field, cutting and stuff, it's not ready yet."
Analysis: Conner has already missed two games with the high-ankle sprain and appears in serious jeopardy of missing another. If he's unable to go this weekend, the Steelers would once again turn to Jaylen Samuels -- who carried 19 times for 142 yards in the Week 15 win over the Patriots -- to head their backfield, with Stevan Ridley on hand in reserve.

Return date remains uncertain
Conner's (ankle) status remains in limbo for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. "Hopefully, that sets the stage for a productive Wednesday, and we'll go from there," coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday after seeing Conner at the Steelers' facility.
Analysis: Prior to missing his second consecutive contest Week 15 against the Patriots, Conner managed a limited showing last Friday, initially earned a questionable tag, was downgraded to doubtful Saturday and eventually landed on the Steelers' list of inactives Sunday. He continues to rehab what has been termed a mid-to-high ankle sprain, so his listing on Wednesday's injury report will be interesting to note.

Inactive Sunday
Conner (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: This is the expected outcome after Conner was downgraded from questionable to doubtful Saturday. On the plus side, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Steelers expect the running back to be available for Week 16's game against the Saints. Against the Patriots, however, Jaylen Samuels is once again in line to head Pittsburgh's backfield, with Stevan Ridley on hand to work in a complementary role against the team he played for from the 2011 season through 2014.

Expected back Week 16
Conner (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots and isn't likely to play, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports the Steelers expect him back for the Week 16 game in New Orleans.
Analysis: The strong likelihood of Conner missing a second straight game this weekend is still a disappointing development for a team still clawing for the AFC North title, but it's encouraging news that his sprained ankle doesn't seem to threaten his availability for a potential postseason run. The Steelers will lean on Jaylen Samuels as their primary runner and pass catcher out of the backfield again versus New England, with Stevan Ridley likely to spell him mainly in short-yardage situations.

The Steelers downgraded Conner (ankle) from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: The designation change doesn't come as a surprise after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported less than an hour earlier that the Steelers weren't expecting Conner to be ready to go this weekend. Unless his sprained ankle feels better than anticipated Sunday, Conner will be sidelined for a second straight game, paving the way for Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley to shoulder the team's backfield duties.

Unlikely to play Sunday
Conner (ankle) is not expected to play against the Patriots on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: While Conner is listed as doubtful, it appears likely the second-year running back will miss his second straight game with a troublesome mid-to-high ankle injury. Rapoport seemed to suggest Conner would be good to go in Week 16, but at least in the immediate future Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley will once again split time in the Pittsburgh backfield. Samuels handled almost the entire load in Week 14 against the Raiders, carrying the ball 11 times for 28 yards while adding seven catches for 64…read more

Questionable for Sunday
Conner (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: After being held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday, Conner returned as a limited participant to wrap up Week 15 preparations. The appearance indicates he has a chance to play through a mid-to-high ankle sprain this weekend after missing one game as a result of the injury. If he's unable to take on the Patriots' 15th-ranked run defense, Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley are on hand to fuel the ground game.

Absent for another practice
Conner (ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Conner's lack of involvement in the Steelers' first two practices of Week 15 wouldn't seem to offer much optimism for his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Patriots. It's worth noting, however, that offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner told Kinkhabwala that Conner doesn't necessarily need to practice beforehand in order to play. Regardless, unless Conner unexpectedly returns to practice in a full capacity Friday, he appears destined to carry a designation into Sunday's game if…read more

No practice Wednesday
Conner (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. "James Conner, with his ankle injury, had a really impressive week last week," Tomlin noted after the session. "We'll see what this week holds, and his availability [for Sunday's game against the Patriots] will be based on his health and then his preparedness. We'll see about his availability throughout the course of the week and let his availability and then the quality of that be our guide."
Analysis: Based on Tomlin's comments, it would seem that Conner, who sat out the Week 14 loss to the Raiders, has a shot to play in the team's crucial matchup with New England. Conner's continued absence from practice isn't the most encouraging sign, but he'll be viewed as day-to-day leading up to the weekend unless the Steelers suggest otherwise. If Conner ends up being limited at all of held out of action in Week 15, the Steelers would once again turn to the combination of Jaylen Samuels and Stevan…read more

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Conner (ankle) hasn't been ruled out for the Week 15 game against the Patriots but will need to demonstrate progress in practices Wednesday through Friday to gain clearance to play, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.
Analysis: Conner, who is believed to be dealing with something between a mid-to-high-ankle sprain, was sidelined for the first time all season over the past weekend in the Steelers' 24-21 loss to the Raiders. While the lead back was inactive, rookie Jaylen Samuels stepped in as the primary option out of the backfield, playing 80 percent of the offensive snaps and finishing with 28 yards on 11 carries and 64 yards on seven receptions.

Conner, who is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, could also miss the Steelers' subsequent matchup with the Patriots in Week 15, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though Conner was initially diagnosed with a leg contusion after exiting the Steelers' Week 13 loss to the Chargers, Rapoport relays that the running back is dealing with something closer to a high-ankle sprain, which likely explains why Pittsburgh ruled him out five days ahead of gameday. Conner is scheduled to receive a follow-up evaluation Monday, which should help the Steelers determine whether or not he has a realistic shot at making it back for Week 15.

Dealing with ankle issue
Coach Mike Tomlin relayed Tuesday that Conner has a sprained ankle that is more significant than originally thought, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Previous reports indicated that the running back was dealing with a leg contusion, but that's been narrowed down to an ankle issue. Given how quickly the running back was ruled out this week, his absence could extend beyond Week 14. The Steelers will thus turn to Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley to head their backfield Sunday against the Raiders in some form of time share, with Trey Edmunds in reserve.

Forced from game with leg injury
Conner carried 15 times for 60 yards and two touchdowns on caught three of four targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Chargers before exiting with a lower-leg contusion late in the fourth quarter.
Analysis: For the second straight game, Conner was mostly held in check, with 42 of his rushing yards coming on two carries. He was taken out of the game after getting rolled up on late in the contest, prompting the Steelers to turn to Jaylen Samuels at running back for the final few plays. Conner's injury appears minor according to early reports, but his status will bear monitoring in the coming days to discern if he'll be ready play Week 14 in Oakland.

Initially diagnosed with bruise
Head coach Mike Tomlin said Conner suffered a lower-leg contusion during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Conner exited the game with only minutes remaining in the fourth quarter after racking up 74 total yards and two scores on 18 touches. While further medical testing may be necessary to pinpoint the exact nature of his injury, the reveal of just a bruise would be great news. However, Conner could miss time even with that diagnosis, and any absence wouldn't come at a worse time for most fantasy owners right before Conner was poised to take aim at a porous Raiders defense in Week 14.

Held in check by Broncos
Conner compiled 53 rushing yards on 13 attempts, adding four catches for 42 yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Denver.
Analysis: The runaway freight train that was Conner between Weeks 5 and 9 is no more, as he's managed a combined 143 rushing yards over his past three outings (compared to 118.5 rushing yards per game in that hot stretch). Prior to Sunday, recent inefficiency on the ground could be explained away by difficult matchups of late (Panthers and Jaguars, both top 12 in RB rushing yards allowed per game), but averaging under 4.1 yards per carry against Denver is disappointing.

Analysis: Expecting to get Le'Veon Bell back this season, the Steelers rode Conner hard prior to this contest. That approach was great for Conner's fantasy owners, but all that wear and tear might be catching up to Conner, who will continue to carry the load with Bell having failed to end his holdout by the deadline. Then again, the talented Jaguars defense completely stymied the Steelers through almost three quarters before blowing a 16-0 lead, so this dud could simply be attributed to a tough matchup…read more

Le'Veon Bell (contract dispute) didn't sign his franchise tender by Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, ensuring Conner will remain the Steelers' starting running back going forward, Bob Labriola of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: With Bell ineligible to play for the rest of the season, the Steelers will continue onward with Conner is the unquestioned lead running back. Through nine games, Conner has received 78 percent of the designed runs and 14 percent of the targets, marks that closely mimic Bell's -- 81 and 19 percent, respectively -- from a season ago, per Mike Clay of ESPN.com.

Analysis: Conner has three extra days to make it through the protocol after suffering a brain injury in last Thursday's 52-21 win over the Panthers. Even if he's a limited participant, Conner's presence on the practice field Wednesday would put him on track to avoid an absence Sunday at Jacksonville.

Being evaluated for concussion
Conner is being evaluated for a concussion in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Panthers and is questionable to return.
Analysis: Conner had a slow game on the ground by his recent standards before exiting, logging 65 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries while adding one reception for eight yards. The rushing numbers still equate to five yards per carry, but it looks as if Conner's four-game 100-yard rushing streak will come to an end in Week 10. With Thursday's contest well out of hand in the fourth quarter, it is unlikely the Steelers will bring the second-year rusher back onto the field, even if he is cleared. Jaylen…read more

Fourth straight game over 100 rushing yards
Conner rushed 24 times for 107 yards while adding seven catches for 56 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Sunday's 23-16 win over Baltimore.
Analysis: Conner got into the end zone on a seven-yard reception in the first quarter and ended up topping 100 yards on the ground for the fourth consecutive game. With Le'Veon Bell still yet to report due to a contract dispute, the Steelers have had no problem giving Conner all the work he can handle, much to the delight of his fantasy owners. Pittsburgh will be right back in action Thursday, so it's unlikely Bell reports by the time the Panthers come to town in Week 10.
