JuJu Smith-Schuster Making Strides With Ankle Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has been sidelined with an ankle injury the last two days but it appears as though the team’s second-round draft pick out of USC is very close to resuming full practices.

While Smith-Schuster is apparently only working on the side during Mondays practice at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Alex Kozora and Tim Rice both report that he went through individual routes with the other wide receivers and was going near full speed.

Smith-Schuster injured his ankle during the team’s first training camp practice at Greater Latrobe High School on Friday.
