Smith-Schuster (knee) cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. However, the wideout didn't participate in the Steelers' first practice of Week 13.
Per Pryor, Smith-Schuster was sporting a big brace on his left knee Wednesday, so that's something he'll need to move past in order to gain clearance to suit up Sunday against the Browns. If Smith-Schuster is sidelined for a second straight week, added opportunities would be available for James Washington and Diontae Johnson.
