"These things also often evolve as the season progresses. If Conner is ineffective when he returns and Snell is clearly better, they’ll make the switch," Bouchette wrote. Snell turned 19 carries into 113 yards on Monday night against the Giants. He's set up nicely in Week 2 against the Broncos as the Steelers could have a positive game script for much of that contest. Conner didn't practice on Wednesday but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to suit up this weekend. Snell would be a plug-and-play RB2 if Conner sits.
