Steelers vs. Cardinals: No James Conner this week

Despite getting some practice reps in this week, Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner will miss another week with his ongoing shoulder injury. The Steelers take on the Arizona Cardinals this week on the road.

Conner told the press he won’t play on Sunday but the team’s official game status report will come out on Friday.

This season has been a wash for Conner after making the Pro Bowl last year. Conner only has 390 rushing yards for the season and this will be his fifth missed game of the year.

With Conner out again, it will be a heavy dose of Benny Snell Jr. and Jaylen Samuels powering the run game. The entire Steelers offense has struggled this season but with games against the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens coming up, it would be better to have a 100 percent Conner in those games.
