OLB Landon Johnson joined Thomas Davis on injured reserve this week, and Na'il Diggs is questionable with a rib injury. Connor said he's practiced at all three linebacker spots this year, and while he feels most comfortable at middle linebacker he said playing the strong side won't be completely foreign to him. "I've tried to learn as many positions as possible and tried to be a utility linebacker and work on special teams," Connor said. "Just trying to stay up with three different positions is hard. It's been my biggest job."
