Sights and Sounds from Steelers Practice: JuJu Smith-Schuster Doing All He Can while Injured
PITTSBURGH — Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is out for the remainder of 2021 with a shoulder injury.
But that hasn’t kept him away from the team. Smith-Schuster has been with the Steelers on the sidelines during game since his injury.
On Friday at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, he showed up to practice. In uniform. With his helmet.
Smith-Schuster is a free agent after the season, and there’s nothing in the rulebook that says he has to stay around the team, but he certainly seems committed to the organization.
Earlier this week, he bought gifts for the facilities’ cafeteria staff.
JuJu Smith-Schuster made the day of the @steelers cafeteria staff when he surprised them with @beatsbydre speakers today.
