Steelers running back James Conner is out for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders with an ankle sprain.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday the injury is "more significant" than the team originally thought. Tomlin classified the injury as a lower leg contusion after last week's 33-30 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Steelers will roll into Oakland with rookie Samuels, veteran Ridley and Edmunds, who was promoted from the practice squad for depth. This week's practices will determine how Tomlin distributes the workload, the story said. Tomlin is claiming the team will use a committee approach, but was quoted in the story as saying Samuels has been "on the rise" in recent weeks. Samuels is looking like a must-add off the wire this week, especially with the possibility Conner misses multiple weeks.

Steelers say RB James Conner's (leg) injury not serious

On Steelers RB James Conner: My understanding is the injury is not to his ankle and not considered major at all.

Fantasy Impact: 

Coach Mike Tomlin called it a contusion and it seems like he'll be OK, based on early impressions. How much it swells will be telling, Rapoport went on to say. An earlier report Monday suggested Conner could miss time because of the injury, but based on this it seems like Conner has a chance to play. But, owners may want to grab Samuels if they don't already own him. Whoever starts at RB will get a nice matchup against the Raiders in Week 14.

Steelers running back James Conner suffered a right lower leg contusion in Pittsburgh's 33-30 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night.

Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed the news in his postgame interview and didn't provide any additional information.

Fantasy Impact: 

While nothing is official, reports say Conner could end up missing some time, which would make Samuels an attractive add this week in fantasy leagues. Coming into this game, Samuels was averaging just over 9-percent of the snaps per game this season. He had five touches against the Chargers, but had only one total touch in Weeks 11 and 12.

Steelers think RB James Conner (concussion) could practice Wednesday

James Conner still in concussion protocol, but Mike Tomlin said he’ll be given an opportunity to practice tomorrow and that that should “lay those discussions to bed.”

Related players: Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact: 

As Kinkhabwala went on to say, Conner needs to do some physical work to get out of the protocol, Wednesday is first day he can do that. Seems like the team expects Conner to play in Week 11 against the Jags. Samuels remains a possible handcuff option as the Steelers seem to think highly of their rookie back.
