The Pittsburgh Steelers activated running back James Conner from the COVID 19 list this afternoon. This comes on the tail of of a lack luster rushing performance against the Washington Football Team on Monday.
Conners presence will hopefully boost a running game that hasn't found much traction as of late. Even prior to Conner being out the running game had died down, but it especially was bad in his absence.
Conner has 645 yards on 145 rushing attempts in 2020.
In addition to Conner the Steelers will have a new pass rusher in the mix as they've signed Cassius Marsh from the Indianapolis Colts practice squad.
Marsh is onto his seventh team including the Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars (2020), Arizona Cardinals (2019), San Francisco 49ers (2017-18), New England Patriots (2017) and Seattle Seahawks (2014-16). He was originally drafted by the Seahawks in 2014.
