Injuries: JuJu Smith-Schuster returning against Jets

With playoff hopes in the balance, the Steelers will have their No. 1 receiver back in the lineup today.

Pittsburgh wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) is active and will play for the first time in five games on Sunday against the Jets.

Smith-Schuster last played in Week 11 in his team's 21-7 loss to the Browns in which he left the game injured.

Other news we're monitoring ahead of Sunday's Week 16 games:

»It appears the Philadelphia Eagles will be missing a key weapon in their pivotal matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not expected to play, a source tells NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

Agholor has missed the last two games with a knee injury. The USC product has 39 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games this season.

The Eagles (7-7) and Cowboys (7-7) will square off at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. A Dallas victory would clinch the NFC East title for the Cowboys while a Philly win would give the Eagles the inside track to the division crown.
