Full-go at practice Thursday Smith-Schuster (knee) practiced fully Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster's absence from practice Wednesday appears routine and he'll be a go for Sunday's game against the Ravens. The 23-year-old is coming off his busiest game of current campaign, as he was on the field for 65 of a possible 79 offensive snaps in this past Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans, en route to racking up nine catches (on 14 targets) for 85 yards.

Gets more involved Smith-Schuster recorded nine receptions on 14 targets for 85 yards in Week 7 against the Titans.

Impact Smith-Schuster didn't find the end zone and wasn't a major deep threat, but he recorded a season-best 14 targets and 85 yards. A big portion of that production came on two catches -- a 28-yard catch halfway through the fourth quarter and a 21-yard reception in the second quarter. With Diontae Johnson (ankle) banged up again, Smith-Schuster could be in for plenty of targets in Week 8 against Baltimore.

Misses another Wednesday session Smith-Schuster (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster has regularly received Wednesday practices off this season, so it's safe to assume he's once again simply resting his lingering knee injury.
