Injuries Present James Washington With Big Opportunity This Week

We will learn more tomorrow about where the Pittsburgh Steelers stand at wide receiver, but I’m not sure there is much reason to be optimistic. Two of the Steelers top three players at the position were forced out of Thursday’s game against the Cleveland Browns after taking hits to the head that caused concussions while attempting to make a catch.

Top wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was hit by two defenders on the same play, including a ricochet shot by former Steeler safety Morgan Burnett as the second helmet hit. He remained down on the field for a period of time, but ultimately left under his own power, and was ruled out with a concussion.
