#Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster had his shoulder reduced last night after a dislocation that can often result in a labral tear. He was examined and had an MRI last night, at which point the decision was made that he needed surgery.

The 24-year-old signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh this offseason, despite having several offers from NFL teams around the league. Smith-Schuster said he was betting on himself, and wanted to remain a Steeler for life.

"Baltimore offered me $14 million, Kansas City offered me $13/$12 [million] on a one-year deal, and that is less money because I'm betting on myself for the future," said Smith-Schuster.

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Smith-Schuster in the second-round of the 2017 NFL Draft. In his five-year NFL career, the former Trojan has accumulated 323 receptions, 3,855 yards, and 26 touchdowns.
