Wont participate in minicamp
JuJu Smith-Schuster’s Year 2 leap will have to wait.
Smith-Schuster, 21, the NFL’s youngest player to record 1,000 total yards in a season, is limited in Pittsburgh Steelers minicamp with what he calls a “frustrating” knee injury. Smith-Schuster won’t disclose the nature of the injury but plans to be a full participant for training camp, which opens July 26. The Steelers have sidelined Smith-Schuster for all 11-man work in organized team activities and minicamp. (ESPN)
Nerdy Football Analysis: It’s good to hear Schuster is expected to participate in training camp but this situation should be monitored closely in case the knee injury lingers. After the trade of Martavis Bryant to Oakland during the draft, the Steelers are counting on their second-year wideout to be a big part of their offense in 2018. He’s being valued as a mid-range WR2 in early fantasy drafts.
