Smith-Schuster (concussion/knee) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Smith-Schuster's knee injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern, but when combined with the fact that he's also in the NFL's concussion protocol, the receiver is going to have a tough time gaining clearance for the weekend. Meanwhile, Diontae Johnson is also dealing with a concussion, currently leaving James Washington, Johnny Holton, Tevin Jones and Deon Cain as the Steelers' healthy wideout options as Sunday approaches.
