Will Steelers’ playmakers suit up?
So far this week, they’re practicing. Beyond that, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin hasn’t committed to running back James Conner (shoulder) and No. 1 wideout Juju Smith-Schuster (knee) playing this week. Combined, they’ve both missed eight games.
Smith-Schuster only has 38 catches for 524 yards this season in limited playing time, but he had a 1,400-yard season in 2018. Without him, James Washington and Diontae Johnson have filled the void. Without Conner, Benny Snell has done some heavy lifting in the backfield with Jaylen Samuels. Conner still leads the Steelers with 390 rushing yards despite missing time, too.
Monitoring their health up until kickoff is a must for the Bills. Those two would provide a big boost to their team.
