When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night they will be looking to extend their four-game winning streak and hold onto their grip on the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoff picture. The Steelers are finally getting healthy and other guys are finally getting traction and there’s no time to waste. Here are the five guys we can’t wait to watch this week.

RB James Conner

Conner missed the last two games with a shoulder injury but he didn’t even show up on the team’s injury report. This is great news for a run game that has struggled to do anything without him. We are most curious to see if the Steelers just turn Conner loose or if he works on a pitch count as he continues to heal up.
