Steelers RB James Conner (shoulder) missed practice again Thursday. Conner is tentatively expected to play, though his Friday participation will be key. If he's out, Jaylen Samuels would become a high-end RB2.

Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels (knee) took full practice reps again Thursday. Samuels should return and back up James Conner, if Conner can play. If Conner's out, it appears that Samuels is in line for a big workload.

Steelers RB James Conner (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. It doesn't sound like the team is still worried about a broken clavicle, which is good news. If Conner is unable to play, Jaylen Samuels would likely serve as the lead back and would be ranked as a fantasy RB2. If Conner does play, his workload may be reduced since he's dinged up and Samuels is back.

Steelers RB James Conner has AC joint injury

Running back James Conner left Heinz Field with his right arm in a sling after the Pittsburgh Steelers' 27-14 victory against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Conner has an AC joint injury and is being evaluated. Tomlin expects to have an update on Conner at his Tuesday news conference.

Related players: Jaylen Samuels, Benny Snell, Trey Edmunds

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers RB situation is suddenly a bit of a mess heading into Week 9. Snell is being looked at for a possible knee injury and also left the game early on Monday night. That left Edmunds as the only healthy back on the roster in the final two minutes. The good news is Samuels is expected to play in Week 9, and at this point is looking like a must-add off the wire.

Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. It looks like Samuels may make his return this week, though we won't have an injury designation until Saturday. If he does play, it would be a small downgrade to James Conner's outlook against the Dolphins.

Steelers RB James Conner expects to play Monday night

RB James Conner injured his quad against the Chargers, but said Wednesday he expects to play Monday night. He also said he feels healthy, which he backed up earlier this week with an exuberant run around the locker room to celebrate a gaming headset given to him by JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Fantasy Impact:

As long as James Conner gets practice time in, he should be ready to go in a great matchup against the Dolphins' poor defense. Benny Snell will back him up with Jaylen Samuels still out.

Jaylen Samuels is back practicing partially. Vance McDonald and James Washington also have a good chance to return this week.

Related players: James Conner, Benny Snell

Fantasy Impact:

Samuels looks like he could be back before his original timetable of 4-6 weeks. Conner is dealing with a knee injury as well so it's possible Snell gets a bigger workload this week depending on Conner's status.
