Report: Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels has “pretty good chance” to play in Week 9

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a banged up group, and remain thin at several key positions coming off the bye week and preparing for the Miami Dolphins in Week 8. One of those positions which could be considered thin would be the running back position. James Conner remains the featured back, but after Conner is anything but certain.

Entering the 2019 season the Steelers like their depth at running back with Conner, Jaylen Samuels and rookie Benny Snell Jr. When Samuels’ knee required surgery after the Week 5 game against the Baltimore Ravens, the depth was tested.
