James Conner Will Be Tested In Pregame Warmups
6 years agoPittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) is determined to play in a must-win Week 17 matchup against the Bengals, but the team wants to test him in pregame warmups before a final determination is made, according to a source. Conner has missed the last three games due to a high ankle sprain, and his status is very much up in the air. Even if he plays, rookie Jaylen Samuels figures to have a substantial role in the offense, making Conner more of a low-end RB2 if he's active.
