The last time James Conner started and finished a game, he had his best outing of the year, one of his best showings in his career, and that’s for a Pro Bowler just a year ago. Problem is he hasn’t been out there for more than a quarter in over a month, and it’s not clear at what point he’ll be back.
While the Pittsburgh Steelers listed him as doubtful the last time around, that seemed like an optimistic designation, because there was no chance he would suit up against the Cleveland Browns.
