When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Cleveland Browns this weekend they will be without starting wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Smith-Schuster is the only Steeler on the team’s injury report listed as OUT for this week’s game.
Smith-Schuster continues to work through a knee injury but has been removed from the concussion protocol. With Smith-Schuster out again it’ll be Diontae Johnson and James Washington doing the heavy lifting in the passing game.
Running back James Conner is doubtful for Sunday’s game. Translation is he’s not playing. This will be Conner’s fourth missed game of the season. Conner only has 102 carries on the year and has taken a significant step back after a Pro Bowl season in 2018.
Benny Snell Jr. was a welcome addition last week at running back after missing a month with a knee injury. He should get the bulk of the touches again this week with Jaylen Samuels as more of a change of pace.
