James Conner, Vance McDonald Miss Practice Again
5 years agoPittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) and tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Conner and McDonald must both practice on Friday to have a chance of suiting up in Week 5 against the Ravens. As of now, Conner is looking like a very shaky low-end RB1. If he can't play or is limited at all, Jaylen Samuels will have low-end RB1 upside. Samuels could see a hefty number of targets in the passing game even if Conner is active, as receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) is looking questionable himself. McDonald is on the verge of missing his second straight game. He's a borderline TE1/2 if he starts. Nick Vannett filled in last week, but he's a last-gasp TE2 for desperate owners.
