The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to be without injured stars JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Conner when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler.

Smith-Schuster, 22, suffered a knee injury and a concussion during the Steelers' Week 11 game versus the Cleveland Browns. Conner, 24, aggravated a shoulder injury in the same contest.

Smith-Schuster leads the Steelers in receiving with 524 yards and three touchdowns, while Conner leads the team with 390 rushing yards and four scores on the ground.

Wide receiver Diontae Johnson is also reportedly unlikely to be available for Pittsburgh's game against the Bengals after sustaining a concussion against Cleveland.
