The Steelers have struggled to find a running game in their past two outings, being limited 132 combined yards on the ground in wins over the Colts and Rams.
That rushing attack should get a boost Thursday night against the Browns, however, as running back James Conner is expected to play for the Steelers. Conner has missed the past two games with an AC sprain in his shoulder.
"If we had worked today, James Conner would have been a full participant," said Mike Tomlin Monday.
Conner leads the Steelers with 380 rushing yards and four touchdowns, though he's averaging just 3.
