Update on Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster

Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster

Barring any late injury or setback, JuJu Smith-Schuster will play against the Buccaneers on Sunday. The receiver looked in good spirits while training with the team this week and is listed as 'available' on the Chiefs roster.

Smith-Schuster had a few injury concerns during the offseason. He missed a few training sessions with a knee injury. However, he quickly got up to speed before Week 1. The receiver has started in all three games for the Chiefs this season.

Despite a slow start, Smith-Schuster has racked up 178 receiving yards on 14 receptions. He is still in search of his first touchdown of the season and will be hoping to end his drought against the Buccaneers.

Smith-Schuster has been one of Mahomes' primary targets alongside tight end Travis Kelce. The Chiefs have done a solid job of utilizing the wideout in the absence of Tyreek Hill, who was traded to the Miami Dolphins this past offseason.
