The big story going into the Pittsburgh Steelers game with the Indianapolis Colts involved injuries. There were questions whether James Conner could play after injuring his shoulder. Then, we learned that Benny Snell would miss several weeks due to a knee injury. The question resolved itself when the Steelers released Donte Moncrief over the weekend. The move preserves a supplemental 3rd round pick and gave recently signed RB Tony Brooks-James a roster spot.
A secondary story was Anthony Chickillo apologizing for causing a distraction.
