After missing the previous two games because of a concussion, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster made his return to the New England Patriots offense in Week 8. But while the offseason acquisition was made a part of the game day roster against the Miami Dolphins, he ended up playing only a minor role in the 31-17 loss.
Smith-Schuster was on the field for 18 of a possible 53 offensive snaps on the day, and caught one 3-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. However, all of his snaps came in the second half with the team opting to use other players ahead of him early on in the game.
