JAMES CONNER NEWS

Activated from COVID-19 list The Steelers activated Conner (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Impact With that, Conner is now on track to play Sunday against the Bills after missing Pittsburgh's previous two games. His return to action will be a welcome one after Washington held the Pittsburgh rushing attack to 21 yards on 14 carries Week 13 en route to upsetting the previously unbeaten Steelers.

Expected back Week 14 Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he's optimistic Conner will be ready to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to the team's Week 14 game against the Bills,...

Impact Tomlin's comments suggest that Conner has been coming along well in his recovery since he tested positive for the coronavirus Nov. 28. Conner is first eligible to return from the list Wednesday, so if he clears all health-related protocols, the running back could be able to participate in the Steelers' first Week 14 practice. If he's ultimately active for the matchup with Buffalo, Conner would likely step back in as the Steelers' top running back after fill-in starter Benny Snell (eight carries for five yards, two receptions for five yards) struggled mightily in Monday's loss to Washington.

Unlikely to return Monday The Steelers can activate Conner (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, but he isn't expected to play in Monday's game against Washington, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Conner was placed on the reserve list after testing positive for COVID-19 back on Nov. 28. The move set the stage for Benny Snell to lead the Steelers backfield this past Wednesday against the Ravens, resulting in 19 touches for 93 yards from scrimmage for the second-year back. Assuming Conner remains sidelined, Snell will earn another start.

Officially placed on COVID-19 list Conner was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

Impact It was reported earlier Saturday Conner had tested positive for COVID-19, but the team had yet to make an official designation. This news seems to suggest the running back will miss, at minimum, Tuesday's contest against the Ravens, but it's entirely possible the game could be delayed even further after both teams added new additions to their respective COVID-19 lists.
