JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) upgraded to full practice for Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was upgraded to a full participant at Thursday's practice.
What It Means:
Smith-Schuster is on track to return for Sunday's Week 16 game against the New York Jets. He was expected back last week before aggravating his knee issue at practice, resulting in a fourth consecutive absence. Smith-Schuster’s return will be an upgrade for the offense as a whole, but Diontae Johnson and James Washington figure to lose value.
JuJu is averaging 8.7 FanDuel points per game this season. The Jets are 16th in receiving yards allowed per game.
