Smith-Schuster has quickly become the Steelers’ best wide receiver not named Antonio Brown. He’s second on the team in receiving with 568 yards and five touchdowns.
But those numbers won’t be increasing this week.
Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette tweeted that the rookie has been ruled out of Sunday night’s game.
