James Conner gets another missed practice day Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers

Dec 26, 2019 · 8:25 PM EST

Steelers RB James Conner (quadricep) missed another day of practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

Chances are looking slim that Conner will be on the field for the Steelers' do-or-die game against the Lamar Jackson-less Ravens. That would put Jaylen Samuels and Benny Snell back in the mix along with Kerrith Whyte and Trey Edmunds. The Steelers will also be without center Maurkice Pouncey, who was ruled out Tuesday with a knee injury. Not the shape the team wants to be in in a must-win situation.

Mike Tomlin on Steelers who are out/likely to miss Sunday. Maurkice Pouncey, James Conner ("availability very much in question").

Related players: Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers are still alive for a playoff berth but also need some help. First they must win against a Ravens team that's resting most of the starters. Pittsburgh also needs the Titans to lose. Snell and Samuels will take over in the backfield if Conner can't go.

Steelers QB Mason Rudolph (shoulder), RB James Conner (quad) leave Week 16

Tribune-Review

Dec 23, 2019 · 9:00 AM EST

QB Mason Rudolph (left shoulder) was being evaluated after the game.

RB James Conner (quad) was knocked out in the first half.

Related players: Benny Snell, Devlin Hodges, Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

HC Mike Tomlin didn't offer any other specifics about the injuries. But the reporter added Rudolph was in clear pain, wincing with every step as he walked and moved gingerly in the locker room. Heading into Week 17 it looks like Hodges could be back at QB with Snell and Samuels getting the work at RB.

Steelers RB James Conner (shoulder, questionable) took full practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 15. Conner is expected to play after full reps all week. We don't expect a full workload, but he should lead the backfield in carries (and touches) against the Bills.

Steelers RB James Conner (shoulder) took full practice reps again Thursday. The full reps indicate that Conner is on pace to return this week against the Bills. Buffalo's rush defense has improved in recent week, but Conner looks like an RB2 if he returns to his old role in the backfield.

Steelers RB James Conner (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday. The full reps indicate that Conner is on pace to return this week against the Bills. Buffalo's rush defense has improved in recent week, but Conner looks like an RB2 if he returns to his old role in the backfield.

Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels (groin) did not practice Wednesday. Samuels looks very iffy for Week 15, which enhances James Conner's outlook since Benny Snell is not much of a pass-catcher.

Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels dealing with groin issue

Dale Lolley on Twitter

Tomlin: Jaylen Samuels has a groin injury.

Related players: Benny Snell, James Conner, Trey Edmunds, Kerrith Whyte.

Fantasy Impact:

Conner has a chance to play this week. But, if Samuels nor Conner can go, look for Snell to get a bulk of the work on early downs with possibly Edmunds getting action on passing downs. Whyte could also be involved. A lot will need to be sorted out for those with Steeler RBs.
