The Pittsburgh Steelers were without the services of running back James Conner for their Sunday road loss to the Oakland Raiders due to an ankle injury and despite some optimistic reports before that game started from the major media stating that he has a chance to play at home against the New England Patriots this coming Sunday, it sounds very unlikely to happen as we sit here on Monday.
According to a Sunday tweet from Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Conner, who suffered an ankle sprain late in the Steelers Week 13 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, is already considered doubtful to play against the Patriots this coming Sunday.
