The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without running back James Conner as they travel to Oakland in hopes of turning their losing streak around.

Here is a look at who the Steelers could be missing on their Sunday road game against the Raiders.

James Conner – Conner will be out this week with what became an ankle injury that was upgraded from a contusion to a sprain. He was ruled out early in the week. The Steelers will need to count on Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley for their running game this week.

Marcus Gilbert – He is also listed as out with a knee injury. This is an injury that has lingered but the good news is that Matt Feiler has stepped in nicely at right tackle. Chukswoma Okorafor will be the top backup at tackle.

Mason Rudolph – He will be inactive again this week as Ben Roethlisberger and Joshua Dobbs are healthy.

LT Walton – The Steelers are healthy on the defensive line and so LT Walton will probably be the odd man out this week.

Zach Banner – Banner has been inactive most of the year and there is little reason to think he will dress this week.

Brian Allen – The Steelers like to have Allen on special teams but they will need more inactives this week and so Allen is going to be an odd man out.

Marcus Allen – I could see a scenario where Morgan Burnett is the one down as he is listed as questionable, but my best guess is that Burnett plays as he has practiced fully all week.

Next. Shazier takes huge step forward in recovery. dark

It looks like Chickillo will play as they will need him on special teams and he practiced fully on friday. He could be inactive though as he was listed as questionable.Roosevelt Nix and Ryan Switzer will play as neither was given an injury designation.
