With one single eye emoji, JuJu Smith-Schuster confirmed what every Steelers fan was hoping for after they heard the recent update that he had returned to practice ahead of the NFL playoffs.
Smith-Schuster seems like he knows something that Steelers fans don't but is letting everyone in on the little secret. Of course, this is all speculation at the moment, but it sure sounds like the Steelers wideout is letting everyone know that he's going to suit up in the NFL playoff game against the Chiefs.
That would be a huge boost to a Steelers offense that scored 20 points or less in three of their final four games leading up to the NFL playoffs. Smith-Schuster, who totaled just 129 yards in five games played, is still just a year removed from a 97-catch, 831-yard campaign in 2020.
It remains to be seen if Pittsburgh will activate JuJu Smith-Schuster off of IR ahead of the game with the Chiefs, though the Steelers wideout sure did excite fans to that possibility with his cryptic tweet.
