Steelers open practice window for JuJu Smith-Schuster

Jan 13, 2022

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday, opening his 21-day window to return from IR.

Fantasy Impact:

His return probably does little for this weekend, but if he can show that his shoulder is in a good spot, Smith-Schuster could play as soon as the Divisional round if the Steelers upset the Chiefs.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield underwent successful surgery on his torn labrum and will be out 4-6 months.

Fantasy Impact:

That timeline lines up with training camps starting, which could/could not be an issue for Mayfield if he takes the full expected amount of time to recover. Case Keenum should be kept as the Browns' backup QB.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) did not practice Wednesday, while RB Aaron Jones (knee) was a full participant.

Related Players: Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard

Fantasy Impact:

Valdes-Scantling has been in-and-out of the lineup and the extra time has not helped his back issues. His health is important because it is unlikely that Randall Cobb plays a large chunk of this weekend's divisional game after having core muscle surgery.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (heel) was a full participant Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Hill was not himself for parts of K.C.'s Super Wild Card win, so it is good to see him already a full participant.
