Pittsburgh Steelers activate wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster ahead of Wild Card game at Kansas City

PITTSBURGH -- What seemed impractical in October is a reality in January.

After sustaining what was thought to be a season-ending shoulder injury against the Denver Broncos in Week 5, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was activated off Injured Reserve on Saturday.

Smith-Schuster is expected to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild card matchup Sunday night.

Running back Najee Harris (elbow) -- previously listed as questionable -- was also removed from the Steelers' injury report and is expected to play Sunday.

"God answered my prayers (and) I've recovered from my season-ending shoulder injury earlier than expected," Smith-Schuster tweeted Saturday afternoon.
