JuJu Smith-Schuster returning to Patriots vs. Dolphins

BOSTON -- Three weeks after suffering a concussion against the Saints, JuJu Smith-Schuster is returning to the field for the Patriots.

Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that Smith-Schuster is set to play Sunday against the Dolphins in Miami.

As Rapoport noted, other receivers -- like rookie Pop Douglas, and former practice squadder Jalen Reagor -- have taken steps forward during Smith-Schuster's absence, so it will be interesting to see how snaps are distributed on Sunday.

Smith-Schuster, 26, is off to a rough start to his Patriots career after signing as a free agent in the offseason. In five games, he's caught 14 passes for 86 yards and zero touchdowns, averaging just 6.1 yards per reception.
