JuJu Smith‑Schuster Visiting Steelers for Workout

Pittsburgh is conducting a short no‑commitment evaluation to address sudden receiver injuries that have left the position thin.

Overview

Steelers reporter Noah Strackbein publicly posted that free agent JuJu Smith‑Schuster will meet with Pittsburgh for a workout as the team evaluates options.
Pittsburgh enters the meeting with three top receivers sidelined — Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek — leaving DK Metcalf and rookie Germie Bernard as the primary on‑roster options.
Smith‑Schuster spent his first five NFL seasons with the Steelers and produced 111- and 97-reception campaigns, making him a familiar veteran target for short-term help.
Since leaving Pittsburgh he played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024–25 and was released in the offseason, and other teams have recently held workouts for him.
Teams use workouts like this to check a veteran’s health, routes and fit; such visits are routine evaluations that do not guarantee a signing but can lead to short-term depth deals or practice-squad moves.
