Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is looking to move past his cold return last week against the New York Jets after his four-week absence. The third-year receiver came away with two catches for 22 yards against the Jets and that included him allowing a last-chance pass from Devlin Hodges to go through his fingers. It's a performance he would like to forget to say the least.
The last play is something that Smith-Schuster is more confident he could make the play and that he “could have adjusted to the ball better or maybe pushed off back and tried to do a miracle catch.” Now that he's feeling better from the knee injury that sidelined him before, the Southern Cal product is ready for the Baltimore Ravens, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

This past week, I have been a full participant in everything, in all the practices, so I feel fine. I think my conditioning is up there. Just got to keep playing.”
Injuries have halted the production that JuJu Smith-Schuster was expected to produce for the Steelers going into this season. Many saw him producing as the number one option with the absence of Antonio Brown, but unfortunately, none of that has been something that has happened for the young pass catcher.
JuJu Smith-Schuster will be looking to put together a strong performance in the last game of the 2019 season for the Steelers against the Ravens on Sunday.
