The Steelers have ruled Smith-Schuster (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Though Smith-Schuster cleared the NFL's concussion protocol earlier this week, the left knee injury he picked up in the Steelers' first matchup with the Browns in Week 11 is still bothering him. After he failed to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday, Smith-Schuster will be forced out for a second straight game. His absence leaves James Washington and Diontae Johnson as new starting quarterback Devlin Hodges' top two options at receiver for Week 13.
