Conner is expected to be fully recovered by June, but will be evaluated by a potential free agency suitor on Monday. Conner is visiting with the Arizona Cardinals, who have been interested in the former Steelers back.

Conner finished the 2020 season with 721 yards and six touchdowns in 13 games and 11 starts. He's yet to finish a 16-game season without missing time with injuries.
