The Pittsburgh Steelers are exploring the possibility of reuniting with former wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster after he was released by the New York Giants. The Steelers have faced significant wide receiver injuries, with top options DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. missing practice. Smith-Schuster, a second-round pick by the Steelers in 2017, has career totals of 5,646 receiving yards and 34 touchdowns. Given the current depth chart situation, adding Smith-Schuster could provide the Steelers with valuable veteran experience. There has been interest from Pittman in recruiting him back to Pittsburgh.
