Steelers vs Jets Thursday injury update: Joe Haden misses practice

When the Pittsburgh Steelers practiced on Thursday, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster got another full workout in. This means he is inching closer to returning from this nagging knee injury. The Pittsburgh offense has struggled to put points on the board the last several weeks so getting Smith-Schuster this week against the New York Jets.

The Steelers also got another full workout out of tight end Vance McDonald who has been sidelined with a concussion. Quarterback Devlin Hodges targeted tight ends seven times last week so getting McDonald back in the fold this week could really help the offense.

On the other side of the report, cornerback Joe Haden showed up on the injury report with a foot injury. No one on the specifics of the injury but Haden out of the lineup would press Cam Sutton into starting duty on the outside.
