Steelers are fully-loaded for a crucial game

The Steelers are getting healthy at the right time.

Pittsburgh will be back at full strength at the most opportune time in Week 16, as Sunday’s showdown with the Jets carries major playoff implications. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) will return, but he is not 100 percent healthy. Regardless, he is still a big boost for Pittsburgh’s offense come Sunday.

“I’m super excited,” Smith-Schuster said, “just because I haven’t been playing for a while. And now that I’m back, to be around my boys, the coaches, players, and just to be myself.”

In addition to Smith-Schuster, the Steelers will get back TE Vance McDonald and CB Joe Haden as neither was listed on Friday’s final injury report. The Steelers had nothing but full participants at practice and will be ready to go for Sunday.
