James Conner Returns to Steelers' Practice on Thursday as Limited Participant
It's been a rough season to be a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
Yes, they are still 6-5, but the record doesn't show the struggles that this team has had. From Ben Roethlisberger's season-ending injury, to JuJu Smith-Schuster getting a concussion, to Mason Rudolph being terrible and getting whacked in the head, there have been so many moments the fans want to forget about.
Thankfully, it looks like there's actually going to be something to look forward to for the Steelers faithful, as RB James Conner has returned to practice in a limited role.

Conner has been sidelined since Week 8 after suffering a shoulder injury against the Browns. This was just one of a string of injuries the RB has had this season.

You’d be hard pressed to find a player more banged up than James Conner. #Steelers
It's unfortunate Conner has been so injury plagued this season since the former Pro Bowler has shown he's clearly one of the better RBs in the league when healthy.
For Pittsburgh's sake, hopefully Conner can return soon and stay healthy for the rest of the season as the team fights for a playoff spot.
