Steelers RB James Conner ‘Pretty Confident’ He’ll Play Against 49ers

While the Monday news regarding the injury suffered Sunday by Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t good, at least running back James Conner received great news concerning the knee injury he suffered during the second half of the team’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

“I don’t think it’s long term,” Conner said Monday about his knee injury during his weekly appearance on 93.7 The Fan. “I’m pretty confident I’ll be out there this coming Sunday.”

Conner, who rushed for only 33 yards and a touchdown on 11 total carries against the Seahawks on Sunday before leaving in the fourth quarter with a knee injury, revealed what the doctors found after further examination.
