Steelers vs Cardinals game status: James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster OUT

The Steelers will once again be without James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster.

If you have been paying attention, this should come as no surprise. According to the Pittsburgh Steelers, running back James Conner and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster are both out for this week’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.

This will be Smith-Schuster’s third straight game he will miss as he continues to deal with a knee injury. For Conner, this is his third in a row and fifth in six games as he works to come back from a shoulder injury.

No other players appeared on the game status report for the Steelers. Benny Snell Jr. will replace Conner in the lineup and James Washington hopes to continue his break out as the team’s top receiving option.

On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers got together for what is essentially their only real workout of the week. The team will do a Friday walkthrough on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s game with the Cleveland Browns but this is the one shot to truly evaluate the health of the roster. And the good news from practice is injured running back James Conner was back and was a full participant.

Additionally, guard Ramon Foster was a full participant as he continues to deal with a concussion. However, there’s been no official word from the team that Foster is out of concussion protocol so his status is still unknown.

Running back Benny Snell Jr., fullback Roosevelt Nix and wide receiver Ryan Switzer were all DNP on Tuesday and their status is in jeopardy. Linebackers Ola Adeniyi and Anthony Chickillo were both limited on Tuesday but could see more reps on Wednesday.
