Pittsburgh Steelers will have to continue their playoff push without one of their key players. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Steelers’ Pro Bowl wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster aggravated his knee injury, which will cause him to miss more games, including Week 15 matchup against Buffalo Bills.

Smith-Schuster missed the previous three games with a knee injury before returning to practice on Wednesday. This return didn’t go as planned, as the 23-year-old re-injured himself. He was a limited participant on Thursday’s practice.

JuJu Smith-Schuster has seen his numbers drop this season compared to 2018, as opponents’ defenses started to double him more often. In 10 games he played in 2019, he made 38 catches for 524 yards and three touchdowns. He also managed to reach 100+ receiving yards just once.

The good news for Pittsburgh Steelers is that their starting running back James Conner is healthy after also missing three previous games. Conner was dealing with a shoulder injury.

“I just want to be out there competing,” said Conner after Thursday’s practice. “These games are crucial, they are critical for us in the position we are in. We are just trying to control our own destiny.”

Steelers are currently in the second spot of AFC North with 8-5 record and hold the second wild card in their conference. Behind them are Tennessee Titans with the same record, but Pittsburgh holds the tie-breaker because of the better conference record.

Steelers’ wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Ravens. The Steelers are hoping he will be able to play in the important AFC North showdown.

Pittsburgh’s star receiver injured his toe early in the game Monday night, the same toe that was hurt in Week 1 against New England. Although JuJu was doing the bare minimum in Friday’s practice, offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner predicts that he will be ready to go on Sunday.

Smith-Schuster caught a career low 15 receiving yards with his hurt toe against the Bengals. Even if he is not 100%, his presence on the field is enough to put pressure on the struggling Baltimore defense in an important divisional game.

Running back James Conner injured his ankle against the Bengals as well, but participated in Friday’s practice and should be ready to go by Sunday.
