Pitt alum and Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner was injured in the second quarter of his team’s Monday Night Football matchup with the New York Giants. At the time, all that was known about the injury was that it affected his left ankle. However, several hours later, it was revealed to be an ankle sprain.
Steelers’ RB James Conner suffered a sprained ankle tonight that will be examined Tuesday, but the team is, in the words of a source, “optimistic for a timely return.”
