Pittsburgh Steelers Dealt Blow as JuJu Smith-Schuster Faces Extended Spell on the Sidelines

Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers got off to a tough start in 2021. The 6-time Super Bowl winners are working round the clock to make a post-season appearance this year. This might probably be Big Ben’s last season with the Steelers and he will look to end it on a high. But one man who might miss out on Ben’s last dance is teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster,

The talented wide receiver arrived in the NFL as a 2nd round pick in 2017. Since then, he has formed a strong bond with QB Ben Roethlisberger. Smith-Schuster and rookie Chase Claypool had a productive season in 2020.

JuJu played in all 5 games for the Steelers in 2021, but will not be part of the team in the coming weeks.
