ORLANDO — JuJu Smith-Schuster's first Pro Bowl appearance didn't end the way he'd hoped as he limped off the field in the second quarter with what's being called a knee contusion.
The injury occurred on Smith-Schuster’s only reception of the day, an 18-yard pickup on a pass from the Colts' Andrew Luck.
He was added to the Pro Bowl roster as an injury replacement for Antonio Brown. Smith-Schuster led the Steelers with 111 catches for 1,426 yards and seven touchdowns in his second season with the team.
