Smith-Schuster (concussion/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

As expected, Smith-Schuster will be sidelined Week 12, the result of a concussion and knee injury suffered last Thursday at Cleveland. While the knee issue isn't a long-term concern, his journey through the protocol for head injuries ultimately will determine his availability. In his absence, Diontae Johnson and and James Washington are in line to head the team's wideout corps Sunday.
