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.

James Conner led the AFC with six rushing attempts and chipped in with three receptions for 34 yards in the AFC’s 26-7 victory over the NFC in Orlando.

Cam Heyward led the AFC in tackles with four and had a game-high 1.5 sacks.
