The recent shoulder injury suffered by Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back James Conner was further examined in Pittsburgh on Monday and according to a report by Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, it was deemed not be serious.
Dulac goes on to say that Conner could return to practice later this week. Conner had suffered his injury during the team’s first padded practice of 2017 on Sunday and has had his left shoulder in a sling ever since. The Pittsburgh product had performed well in the backs-on-backers drill early that day.
As for the hamstring injury suffered Sunday by cornback Senquez Golson, Dulac reports he’s expected to be sidelined longer than Conner.
