With the Pittsburgh Steelers on their bye week, the offensive coaching staff is working to put together a plan to mitigate the loss of veteran slot receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, and fourth-year Ray-Ray McCloud is among the names that have been talked about in that conversation.
While he has played 50 percent or more of the team’s offensive snaps in three of the past four games, however, his primary role, at least for now, still appears to be that of the Steelers’ return man, executing both kick returns and punt returns.
McCloud is currently averaging 24.7 yards per kick return this season.
