PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner suffered a shoulder injury Monday night, leaving the game against the Miami Dolphins in the fourth quarter.
Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Conner’s shoulder/AC injury was "in the process" of being evaluated, and Conner will be "limited" this week because of the injury.
