After bursting onto the scene in Ben Roethlisberger's waning years with 2,342 receiving yards in his first two seasons, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has had a roller-coaster NFL career.

Braxton Berrios Limited In Wednesday’s Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios (knee) was a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Berrios has split WR3 reps with Robbie Chosen and Cedrick Wilson Jr. this season.

Justice Hill Limited In Wednesday’s Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (foot/hamstring) was a limited participant in the team's Wednesday practice with multiple injuries.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said it's "leaning towards no" for left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring) to play in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
