James Conner has 73 yards and touchdown for Steelers, suffers concussion

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner was placed in the concussion protocol Thursday night following a 52-21, Week 10 win over the Carolina Panthers.

What It Means:

Conner rushed 13 times for 65 yards and 1 touchdown and turned 1 target into an 8-yard catch before leaving to be evaluated for a concussion. He appeared to be dealing with injuries throughout the night and snapped a four-game streak of 23-plus touches and 129-plus total yards. The 23-year-old will have 10 days to get cleared for a Week 11 road matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Le'Veon Bell (holdout) is expected to report by next week's deadline but it's not clear if he will be active in Jacksonville.

Conner scored 13.8 FanDuel points on Thursday, coming up short of numberFire's Week 10 projection (20.7). He has 164 carries for 771 yards and 10 touchdowns through nine games, as well as 39 catches (51 targets) for 387 yards and 1 touchdown.
