It looks highly unlikely that James Conner will be on the field when the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the New England Patriots this Sunday after an update to his injury status on Saturday downgraded him to doubtful for the game.
Having made his first appearance at practice since injuring his ankle against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13 on Friday, Conner was optimistically listed as questionable for Week 15. However, following the walkthrough, it would appear the medical staff have been forced to re-evaluate his availability.
Considering he has only had one day of limited practice in the last two weeks, it should come as no surprise to learn that Conner is not yet ready to return to action.
