Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will not play in Sunday night's game against the Green Bay Packers due to a hamstring injury, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin had characterized the injury as "small" earlier this week, but the rookie wide receiver missed practice Wednesday and Thursday.

Smith-Schuster is second on the team in touchdown receptions (five) and receiving yards (568) this season. His big social media presence and touchdown celebrations have made him a popular figure in Pittsburgh in his first year.

Information from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler was used in this report.
