The Steelers could be without wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, as all of a sudden, he appeared on the injury report on Friday, being a limited participant.
Smith-Schuster reportedly suffered a groin injury in practice earlier in the week, and he’s questionable to play in the team’s Week 16 game against the Saints. Fellow receiver Antonio Brown was asked how his role could change if JuJu misses the game, and he had this to say.
JuJu Smith-Schuster (groin) declined comment in the locker room Friday. He went through Friday's pre-practice walkthrough, per guard Ramon Foster. Antonio Brown said he thought Smith-Schuster will "be there for us" on the field Sunday against the Saints.

Ryan Switzer seemed to echo Brown’s sentiments.
“Oh, JuJu’s playing,” he said, via Jacob Klinger of PennLive.com. “I mean I’m not a doctor, but I know JuJu.”
Smith-Schuster has been as consistent as they come, as he’s the only AFC receiver with seven 100+ yard games so far this season. The Steelers will need him out there — especially if the Ravens beat the Chargers on Saturday, putting the pressure on for the division title.
