Kevin Colbert gave something of a mixed message regarding the future of the running back position in a conference call with reporters held Tuesday afternoon. As he’s done earlier this offseason, Colbert expressed confidence in James Conner, attributing his 2019 injuries as a fluke and the hope he’ll regain his Pro Bowl form.
“What we talked about with James when those injuries were occurring is look this is an acute injury, it happened, we know you’re gonna get through it and that’s why we’re looking at this coming season,” Colbert told the media via PennLive’s Jacob Klinger.
