JuJu Smith-Schuster Expected To Return Next Week
2 years agoAccording to Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, there's a good chance that wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) returns to training camp practice next week. Smith-Schuster will be held out of the team's second preseason game this Saturday against the Washington Commanders, but barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 1 of the regular season. The 25-year-old played in only five games in his final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021 due to a shoulder injury, but he's past the shoulder issue and is in line for a substantial role as one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' primary targets in his first year in KC. However, Mahomes is expected to spread the ball around in the offense, making Smith-Schuster more of a WR3 with upside in fantasy drafts.
