ImpactSamuels' 27 offensive snaps constituted a season high, as Pittsburgh went without starting RB James Conner for Monday night because of his presence on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The uptick in involvement may remain temporary, as coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism Tuesday regarding Conner's potential availability for Week 14, per Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network. Samuels' production has been minimal to this point in 2020, with just 25 scrimmage yards collected over his nine offensive touches.
