  Bills | John Conner to Buffalo    Wed May 13, 11:53 AM

Free-agent FB John Conner (Jets) signed with the Buffalo Bills Wednesday, May 13. FB Corey Knox was waived to make room for him.

Footballguys view: Conner is reunited with former Jets head coach (and current Bills head coach) Rex Ryan. He's not a lock to make the final roster, but he does give the team another fullback behind starter Jerome Felton.

  Jets | Friday practice report    Fri Nov 28, 05:10 PM

New York Jets QB Michael Vick (illness, wrist) and DE Muhammad Wilkerson (toe) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 28. FB John Conner (groin) and DT Sheldon Richardson (back) were limited during practice, while OT Oday Aboushi (shoulder), LB Antwan Barnes (knee), OG Willie Colon (knee), DE Leger Douzable (ankle), LB David Harris (shoulder), SS Jaiquawn Jarrett (calf) and C Nick Mangold (shoulder) fully participated in practice.

Footballguys view: Wilkerson being out is a big blow to a defense that is already terrible in the back end and relies on their defensive line to make stops. Ryan Tannehill and company should have a field day.

  Bengals | John Conner cut    Sat Aug 31, 11:24 AM

The Cincinnati Bengals have released FB John Conner.

Footballguys view: Conner is a devastating lead blocker and shouldn't be out of work for that long. The Bengals are going with converted tight end Orson Charles at fullback this year. This is a terrific sign that they will be going with a more pass-happy attack this year.

  Bengals | Competition for FB job close    Mon Aug 19, 02:54 PM

Cincinnati Bengals FB John Conner and TE Orson Charles are in a close competition for the fullback job, but Conner may have the edge because he has been a more consistent blocker.

Footballguys view: Charles is a converted TE who can play H-back and catch a few passes out of the backfield. He's not as powerful a blocker as Conner and lacks the build to be a crushing lead blocker.

New York Jets FB John Conner (hamstring), WR Stephen Hill (hamstring) and TE Dustin Keller (hamstring) will not play Week 5 because of injuries. All three were listed as doubtful for the game.

Footballguys view: The Jets passing game is in real trouble without Hill and Keller in the lineup as they're already missing Santonio Holmes for the rest of the year. If Mark Sanchez continues to struggle we could see the Jets move to Tim Tebow as their starting QB.

Footballguys view: The game is on Monday night against the Texans so perhaps some of these players could be ready to go by then. The team could really use Hill and Keller back in the lineup since WR Santonio Holmes has been put on season ending Injured Reserve.
