PITTSBURGH — More coronavirus cases are impacting the Pittsburgh Steelers, as this time a key played has tested positive.

James Conner was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday.

You can watch the game on Channel 11 Tuesday night, starting with pregame coverage at 7 p.m.

He tested positive for COVID-19, but reports indicate he appears to be asymptomatic and it’s possible he might continue to test for a potential false positive.
