Report: Donte Moncrief will be inactive on Sunday

Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster explains his role as a leader, the differences between playing with Mason Rudolph and Ben Roethlisberger, and his reaction to trading for Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Two weeks ago, receiver Donte Moncrief started the season as a starter for the Steelers. Now? Not.

Not only is Moncrief not a starter, he won’t even be in uniform. Mike Garafolo of the NFL reports that Moncrief will be inactive on Sunday at San Francisco.

Moncrief caught three passes on 10 targets in Week One, and he had no catches in Week Two. His performance included a volleyball bump to a Seattle defensive back.

Rookie Diontae Johnson has replaced Donte Moncrief in the starting lineup. Someone needs to step up across from JuJu Smith-Schuster.
