Though he is the second-youngest in the room, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is the wily veteran in the team’s wide receiver group, now in his fifth season. But they will have to do without him for the remainder of the year after he suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery two games ago.
The problem is, they don’t have another receiver on the roster with his exact skillset, so they can’t just plug in one guy and move on. And that’s certainly not what the Steelers intend to do in filling the role of Smith-Schuster going forward, as wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard told reporters earlier today.
