Report: Steelers Running Back James Conner Could Return for Week 15 Game Against Patriots

Steelers running back James Conner might only miss one game as there is a chance he returns from his ankle sprain next week, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.

Conner is fifth in the NFL in rushing entering Week 14 with 909 yards and he is second in the league in touchdowns with 12. According to Schefter, if Sunday's contest against the Raiders were the Super Bowl and not just a regular season game, the second-year running back from Pittsburgh could have potentially played.

However, when the Steelers host the Patriots in Week 15, Conner may be on the field.
