While the Pittsburgh Steelers allowed wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to return to practice on Thursday, it’s starting to sound like the former second-round draft pick out of USC won’t be playing Sunday night in the team’s AFC Super Wild Card game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Thursday might, the Steelers are not planning to play Smith-Schuster right now, even though he is reportedly healthy enough to play. Smith-Schuster has not played since suffering a shoulder injury in Week 5. He had surgery not too long after suffering that injury and was then placed on the Reserve/Injured list.
