The Pittsburgh Steelers can count on receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster for Sunday night’s playoff game against the Chiefs in Kansas City.
The Steelers have removed the 25-year-old receiver’s name from the injured list.
God answered my prayers & I’ve recovered from my season-ending shoulder injury earlier than expected. I can’t believe I get another chance to take the field with this team and play in a playoff game to keep our season alive. Steelers Nation, #HereWeGo! pic.twitter.com/SdAKl3SrYx

Smith-Schuster had shoulder surgery in October and it was thought his season was over, but it looks like his rehabilitation has gone faster than expected and he will provide one more target for likely future retiree Ben Roethlisberger, who will look to extend his career with a surprise win over the mighty Chiefs.
In five games this season, Smith-Schuster has caught 15 passes for 129 yards. He added a touchdown.
