JuJu Smith-Schuster WR: Out (shoulder)

With his injury on Sunday and ensuing surgery on his shoulder, the Steelers placed him on the injured reserve list, and his season is over. Adding to JuJu’s situation, his contract ends after the season, leaving some to speculate that the Denver game may have been his final game as a Steeler.  We will have to wait and see what happens at the end of the season.

Ben Roethlisberger QB: Questionable (pectoral)

For another week, Big Ben finds himself on the injury list. However, like last week there is no indication he will sit out of the Seahawks game. He had the same status headed into week five and played, so do not expect anything different this week. Big Ben sat out of Wednesday’s practice as a precaution, but that is the norm, with Roethlisberger returning to a full practice on Thursday.

Cam Sutton CB: Questionable (groin)

Cam’s prognosis looks good as he heals from one of the many groin injuries sustained this season. He has returned to a limited Wednesday practice after missing the Denver game and had a full practice on Thursday.  He will return, making the timing of his return as perfect as the Seattle game is an ideal game to return given Seattle’s injury situation. Expect Cam to play Sunday.
