Conner is slated to serve as Pittsburgh's lead back Week 3 against the Buccaneers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Le'Veon Bell still hasn't reported to the Steelers or provided any hint about when he intends to do so, leaving Conner in line for another hefty snap count. Conner was limited to 17 yards on eight carries in Sunday's 42-37 loss to Kansas City, but he made up for it with a five catches for 48 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Conner enters Monday's game in Tampa Bay as the league leader in touches (49), with only Ezekiel Elliott boasting a higher snap share among running backs.
