Steelers | James Conner takes part in practice

Pittsburgh Steelers RB James Conner (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 24.

Footballguys View: Conner should be back out there for the Steelers in Week 16. The projections for him are all over the place as Conner may start the game but may not finish the game…or may play limited snaps. Start him as a RB2/flex play in the championship round.
