Will Patriots keep an extra WR due to Smith-Schuster injury concerns? originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
JuJu Smith-Schuster is a talented wide receiver fresh off a 933-yard campaign and a Super Bowl title with the Kansas City Chiefs. But his success with the New England Patriots is no sure thing, based on one key factor: his health.
Smith-Schuster played through a knee injury during last season's playoffs and didn't participate in minicamp with the Patriots this spring as he rehabbed his knee. While he's been on the field for New England in training camp, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer shared some concerning insight about Smith-Schuster's injury history, and why it may motivate the Patriots to keep an extra wide receiver on their 53-man roster.
