Could James Conner return for the biggest game of the year? Mike Tomlin isn’t ruling it out.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for the biggest game of the 2018 regular season when the New England Patriots come to Heinz Field in Week 15, but you wouldn’t know this by listening to Mike Tomlin’s press conference Tuesday.

While the majority of the discussion surrounded things like Chris Boswell and the team’s kicking situation, timeouts used or the difficulty in playing in Oakland, some actual nuggets of information can be gleaned from the presser which have some significance for the team’s upcoming game.

On the injury front, Tomlin announced the injury which kept Ben Roethlisberger in the locker room after halftime and during the majority of the second half was bruised ribs.
