Steelers running back James Conner was a full participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/giovani-bernard-jersey , which raises hopes that he’ll return to the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Bengals.The Steelers will be trying to have all hands on deck for that game as they need a win to have any hope of advancing to the postseason this year. For the second straight day of practice, one of the hands that they were missing at practice was wide receiver Antonio Brown.Brown sat on Wednesday with a coach’s decision designation, but a knee issue was given as the reason for Thursday’s absence.Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Media reports that Brown is dealing with knee soreness http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/shawn-williams-jersey , so this may also have been more of a maintenance day for a player that the team wants to have at full strength on Sunday. Friday will bring another practice and the release of injury designations that shed some more light on whether he’ll be in the lineup.Safety Sean Davis (quad) and linebacker Vince Williams (toe) remained out of practice for Pittsburgh while guard Ramon Foster got a rest day. It may have taken the Cincinnati Bengals a while to find a defensive coordinator for new head coach Zac Taylor, but the rest of the coaching staff is now rounding into form.The team announced on Thursday the hiring of Nick Eason (defensive line), Tem Lukabu (linebackers) http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/josh-malone-jersey , Brad Kragthorpe (offensive assistant), and Jordan Kovacs (defensive quality control) to their coaching staff with Todd Hunt and Garrett Swanson joining the team as assistant strength and conditioning coaches.All six coaches come to the Bengals from positions in college football, though Eason and Lukabu have prior NFL coaching experience.Eason spent 2018 at Austin Peay University and had accepted a job at Vanderbilt for 2019 before joining the Bengals. He previously spent four years with the Tennessee Titans as a defensive line coach from 2014-17.Lukabu was the linebackers coach at Mississippi State last season. He has previously served as a defensive quality control coach with the San Francisco 49ers (2016-17) and defensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2012-13).Kragthorpe was an offensive coaching analyst at LSU last season after spending the prior two seasons at Utah State.Kovacs was a graduate assistant under Jim Harbaugh at Michigan the last two seasons.
