The Pittsburgh Steelers will play the Oakland Raiders in Week 14 and they’ll do so without having running back James Conner as he was ruled out for Sunday’s game by head coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday with an ankle injury.
“On the injury front, we’ve got a number of injury things to discuss,” Tomlin said on Tuesday. “James Connor’s injury is probably a little bit more significant than we initially thought. He’s got an ankle sprain, not a contusion, so he’ll be out this week.”
Conner was injured late in Sunday’s home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and with him now ruled out against the Raiders we’re likely to see a mix of veteran Stevan Ridley and rookie Jaylen Samuels at running back against the Raiders.
