Related Topics: Heinz Field

When the announcement came that Pitt running back James Conner was cancer free, fans wondered what would be the next steps since it seems more likely he will be ready for the start of the season. His doctor said after the announcement, after all, that once his chemo port was out, he would have no physical practice restrictions.

There have been several great posts on social media indicating how fans can't wait for Conner to get the ball in his hands against Penn State on September 10th at Heinz Field. But while that is one of the highest-profile games on the team's radar and the team's second game of the year, Conner and the Panthers need your support starting with the team's opener against Villanova over Labor Day weekend.
