Conner Now Looking Forward To Chances To Show He Contribute In Passing Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have most of their starters on display in their annual tune up preseason game Saturday at Heinz Field against the Tennessee Titans and while running back Le’Veon Bell obviously won’t play in that contest, his absence once again should provide the team yet another great opportunity to take a long look at his backup, James Conner, and perhaps even some in the passing game as well.

Conner, who so far has rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown on 9 total carries during the preseason, has only caught one pass for 9 yards in the first two exhibition contests.
