Initially, the Steelers downplayed the injury, but after further examination, it was revealed to be worse than they thought.

Obviously the Steelers would love to have Conner back in the lineup. They missed him last weekend in Oakland, as Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley were unable to get anything going on the ground.

And with a record of 7-5-1 heading into this pivotal AFC matchup, Pittsburgh needs all hands on deck to avoid potentially falling out of the playoff picture altogether following a three-game losing skid.
