Steelers RB James Conner out vs. Raiders with sprained ankle

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner will not play in the team's Sunday game against the Oakland Raiders, coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday.

Tomlin said Conner has a sprained ankle and that it's more significant that originally thought. Conner was hurt in the fourth quarter against the Chargers two days ago.

The team also announced that running back Trey Edmunds was promoted to the 53-man roster, and placed receiver Justin Hunter on the Reserve/Injured List.
