Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) in protocol
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) is in the league's protocol.
What It Means:
Smith-Schuster is uncertain for Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Diontae Johnson is also in the concussion protocol, so the Steelers may be forced to turn to James Washington and Johnny Holton as their starting wideouts. James Conner (shoulder) and Jaylen Samuels could also be more involved in the passing game.
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.
