Steelers RB James Conner injures lower leg in loss to Chargers

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers running back James Conner suffered a lower leg contusion in Pittsburgh's 33-30 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night.

Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed the news in his postgame interview and didn't provide any additional information.

Conner, who appeared briefly in the locker room but did not do interviews, was hurt on a Chargers tackle late in the fourth quarter. Conner gained 10 yards on a screen pass with 5:08 remaining and fell to the grass after pushing through two Chargers defenders for the first down.
