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.

Back at practice Friday
Conner (ankle) indicated that he put in a full practice Friday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Conner's level of participation won't be confirmed until the Steelers release their official injury report later Friday. In any case, Conner's return to work Friday puts him on track to play Sunday against the Ravens.

Logs another missed practice
Conner (ankle) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Analysis: That said, Lolley adds that the expectation is that Conner will be able to suit up Sunday against the Ravens, though what the running back is able to do (or not do) at Friday's practice will be telling in that respect.

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.

Will try to practice Wednesday
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. Next up for work out of the Steelers' backfield is Jaylen Samuels, who racked up 18 touches for 83 yards and one TD while completing all three passes for 31…read more

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

Returns to full practice
Conner (knee) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Conner, who injured his knee against the Seahawks this past Sunday, began the practice week with an absence, but his return to full participation Thursday puts him on track to head the Steelers' backfield this weekend against the 49ers. With QB Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) out for the rest of the season, going forward the team figures to lean heavily on Conner, as well as wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, the team's top two playmakers in an offense that now features Mason Rudolph as its starting…read more

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Conner (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Though he didn't practice Wednesday, Conner noted with regard to Sunday's game against the 49ers, "I believe I am going to be good to go." For his part, coach Mike Tomlin said "I'm not ready to say James Conner is not going to be a full participant in this game. We'll let his practice participation be our guide, and then everyone else's division of labor will tier down from there." While the running back can't be considered a lock to play this weekend, there is definitely optimism on that…read more

Plans to play Sunday
Conner (knee) reiterated Wednesday that he expects to play Sunday against the 49ers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Likely to play Week 17
Conner (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, will be evaluated after a pregame warmup, but the expectation is that he'll suit up, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
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. In Conner's absence, the backfield has been running on all cylinders with Jaylen Samuels…read more

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.

Downgraded to doubtful
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. It was Ridley who reached the end zone in the Week 14 loss to the Raiders, but Samuels…read more

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

Not ruled out for Week 15
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.

May be out through Week 15
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. As for Sunday, the Steelers are…read more

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.

Conner rushed nine times for 25 yards while adding six receptions for 24 yards on nine targets in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Jaguars.
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. With Le'Veon Bell not expected to join the team, Conner is positioned for a massive workload over the final seven weeks of the season.

Analysis: Conner sustained a head injury in Thursday's 52-21 win over the Panthers, during which he piled up 65 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries and reeled in his lone target for eight yards.

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.
