It’s been roughly a month since Steelers star skill players JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Conner have set foot on the field for NFL action. While both players should be nearing returns from the injuries they sustained back in Week 11 against the Browns, head coach Mike Tomlin is pumping the brakes on their availability this week.
According to Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports, Tomlin is “not ready to say” whether or not JuJu or Conner will be active for this Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. During his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Tomlin said that the quality and availability of Conner and Smith-Schuster during the practice week is what will determine whether or not they will be available to gear up this weekend in Pittsburgh.
