Steelers' James Conner eyes return against Browns

PITTSBURGH -- After missing two weeks with a shoulder injury, Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner expects to be back for Thursday night's game in Cleveland.

"I'm making a lot of progress on it, and I think I'll be good to go," Conner said. "I can't make no guarantees, but as of right now, I'm feeling very good and things are feeling very confident for me playing on Thursday."

The Steelers run game pieced together with Jaylen Samuels and two former practice squad backs in Trey Edmunds and Tony Brooks-James desperately needs Conner to return.
