Quintez Cephus Ruled Out In Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game against the Vikings. Cephus ends the day with three catches for 38 yards.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He has no receptions, but does have two carries for six yards.
