Steelers downgrade Conner, activate Rogers

Pittsburgh has downgraded running back JAMES CONNER to doubtful for today's showdown with New England, and it sounds like he's pretty much certain not to play. JAYLEN SAMUELS gets another crack at making an impact, although he failed to do much in Week 14 at Oakland. Elsewhere on the roster, the Steelers have activated receiver ELI ROGERS, who suffered a torn ACL in last season's playoff loss to Jacksonville. Rogers was never exactly great and probably has a good bit of rust to knock off, but he could help to diversify a passing game that will likely be very busy (particularly if Conner is out) against the Patriots.
