The Steelers running back was injured near the two minute warning of the Steelers victory. He left with a right shoulder injury ,but many lip readers say clavicle. By video, it did not appear to be an injury or fracture to the collarbone itself, but rather the end of the collarbone at the acromioclavicular (AC joint) . I saw a mild AC joint sprain and if there was more time or the game was closer, he might have been able to return. Likely he is getting x-rays now and they should be negative for a fracture. Indeed, we will update on Connor when more news comes out. Head coach Mike Tomlin said "shoulder, AC" and that confirms our video impression. Expect this to be a relatively minor injury where he may indeed miss practice time or be limited, but even though he left in a sling, I still expect he plays next game against the Colts.
