Steelers will look to Martavis Bryant to pick up JuJu Smith-Schuster's slack

PITTSBURGH -- With JuJu Smith-Schuster missing an entire practice week and set to sit Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, the Steelers have options to offset the loss of their second-leading receiver.

More Martavis Bryant on the outside: Bryant hasn't surpassed five targets over the past month, but that could change Sunday. Ben Roethlisberger said Bryant has had a productive two weeks, even without flashy stats (nine catches, 72 yards), and the big plays are getting closer to liftoff. Expect the Steelers to try to get Bryant some easy looks, possibly over the middle on slants and crosses, to loosen up coverage on Antonio Brown.
