Steelers hosting WR JuJu Smith-Schuster for visit

The Pittsburgh Steelers are exploring options to bolster their wide receiver group ahead of Week 6, with a visit from veteran JuJu Smith-Schuster scheduled. The team, currently dealing with injuries to key receivers like Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson, and Ben Skowronek, is looking to address a significant personnel shortage at the position.

Smith-Schuster, who has not played this season, recorded 33 receptions for 345 yards and a touchdown with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023, showcasing his offensive capabilities. His NFL journey includes stints with the New York Giants and, notably, his tenure as a second-round pick by the Steelers in 2017.

Recently, Smith-Schuster has been actively engaging in team visits, including stops with the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers in October, signaling his availability in the market. At 30 years old, he brings experience and familiarity with Pittsburgh’s system, though lingering knee issues from his time with the Giants remain a consideration.
