The Facts: Steelers running back James Conner is in the concussion protocol, but coach Mike Tomlin is optimistic that he well be cleared for Week 11.
Diehards Line:Conner is expected to practice Wednesday and get cleared for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He suffered the injury on Thursday night against the Panthers, so gets a few extra days to get healthier. Conner has been phenomenal as the Steelers running back this season and should be treated as a must start every week regardless of matchup.
