JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee, concussion) reportedly not expected to play for Steelers Week 12
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee, concussion) is not expected to play Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, reports ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Fowler says the knee issue isn't a long-term concern, but between that and Smith-Schuster being in the concussion protocol, he believes it's "too much to overcome" by Sunday. Diontae Johnson (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday, so look for him to take on an expanded role if he's cleared.
JuJu is averaging 8.7 FanDuel points per game this season. He has 38 catches for 524 yards and 3 touchdowns on 60 targets in 10 games. The Bengals are 21st in the NFL in receiving yards allowed per game.
