Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster injured his toe in Monday night’s victory over Cincinnati, but the team expects him to play Sunday.
“JuJu got a little banged up early in that ball game last week,” offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner said, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN. “We held him a little bit today. Held him yesterday. Don’t have any feeling like he wouldn’t be back with us, but he gutted it out, and I was really proud of him.”
It probably explains why Smith-Schuster made only three catches for 15 yards against the Bengals.
Smith-Schuster did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.
For the season, Smith-Schuster has 17 catches for 258 yards and a touchdown.
