“He’s feeling okay,” Gannon said after the game. “On that long run, he might have gotten his foot stuck in the ground and might have twisted his knee, so we’ll see tomorrow.”

Conner returned to the sideline with his helmet after he had gone to the locker room to get examined. It appeared he might return to the game but he did not.

He finished with 46 yards on six rushing attempts.

After he left the game, Emari Demercado filled in and finished with 45 yards on 10 carries, scoring his first NFL touchdown.
