Steelers RB James Conner has AC joint injury

Oct 29, 2019

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.

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.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
