The Pittsburgh Steelers offense was struck a blow on Sunday when wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster went down with a shoulder injury. Now the worry is Smith-Schuster is going to be lost for the season.

Fellow wide receiver Diontae Johnson spoke to the media on Monday and he made it clear that this team would be there for JuJu and play for him but no matter what happens it’s next man up. This means some combination of James Washington, Ray-Ray McCloud and Cody White to fill the void at the No. 3 wide receiver on the depth chart.

Smith-Schuster has 15 catches on the season for 129 receiving yards.
