According to the team, Smith-Schuster will not participate in Sunday’s game against the Packers. The rookie is dealing with a hamstring injury and will sit out Week 12 in order to let himself heal approaching the playoffs.
Martavis Bryant, Eli Rogers and Justin Hunter will see more action without Smith-Schuster as the Steelers look to continue their success through the air.
“They put the work in,” Ben Roethlisberger told Steelers media. “Those are guys that we expected to play before we even knew what we had in JuJu. We never like to go into a game without full strength, but guys will step up.
