Smith-Schuster (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
In a 21-18 win over the Steelers this past Thursday, Smith-Schuster played all but one of the Patriots' 57 snaps on offense and finished the day with four catches for a season-high 90 yards on six targets. The heavy snap count and increased involvement in the passing game were due in part to the Patriots' receiving corps being depleted by injury, but assuming Smith-Schuster's ankle issue isn't anything that keeps him from playing Sunday against the Chiefs, he could face more competition for snaps and targets. DeVante Parker (knee), Demario Douglas (concussion) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) were all sidelined against the Steelers but could be back in action Sunday after joining Smith-Schuster as limited participants in Wednesday's practice.
