McCullers (ankle) is absent from Wednesday's injury report, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

McCullers sat out Pittsburgh's win over the Panthers in Week 10 due to an ankle injury, but appears to have fully recovered. Barring any setbacks, expect the depth nose tackle to play a limited defensive role during Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Conner (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Per Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com, Conner felt good after Wednesday's practice, but until it's confirmed that the running back has passed through all the stages of the NFL's concussion protocol, he'll continue to carry an injury designation in Week 11. Once officially cleared -- which seems likely barring any unexpected setbacks -- Conner will head the Pittsburgh backfield Sunday against the Jaguars and for the games to follow now that Le'Veon Bell (contract dispute) is no longer eligible to play this season.

Bell could receive a transition tag from the Steelers during the offseason, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.

Bell became ineligible for 2018 when he failed to report to the Steelers on Tuesday. He will now turn his focus to the 2019 offseason, at which point a third franchise tag would be prohibitively expensive for the Steelers, thus giving Bell all the leverage. The Steelers still have the option to use a transition tag for approximately $14.5 million, which would give them the right to match any offer sheet Bell signs with another team. The problem with that option is a lack of draft-pick compensation, whereas Pittsburgh likely would receive a mid-round pick if it simply allowed Bell to become an unrestricted free agent. The final option makes the most sense, which would allow Bell to choose his next home without the Steelers having any involvement. He'll turn 27 years old in February and may find that some teams are worried about his year-long absence from football, even though the running back met his stated goal of avoiding wear and tear during a contract year.
