JuJu Smith-Schuster takes scary hit vs. Jaguars

The Kansas City Chiefs are worried after watching JuJu Smith-Schuster go down after taking a monster hit from Andre Cisco.

The Kansas City Chiefs are hoping that wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will be okay after watching him go down following a monster hit from Jacksonville Jaguars safety Andre Cisco. For now, it looked as if Smith-Schuster was injured on the play and Chiefs Kingdom is hoping and praying that the team’s top WR and a quick fan favorite can recover.

As it turns out, Smith-Schuster is in the team’s concussion protocol.

Smith-Schuster caught a quick pass from Patrick Mahomes over the middle on a third down in the second quarter before getting hit by Cisco’s helmet. Refs initially threw a flag, but an official took it back and declared there was no foul for unnecessary roughness on the play.

The Chiefs have relied on Smith-Schuster more than any other imported wide receiver this offseason after rebuilding the position following the Tyreek Hill trade. Smith-Schuster has come on strong in recent weeks, and his chemistry with Mahomes and others has gotten noticeably better with each passing game. In the last three weeks alone, Smith-Schuster has 22 catches for 325 yards, and 2 touchdowns.

If you missed the play in the first place, you can see it here:

Smith-Schuster signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs this offseason, but fans have made a potential contract extension for JSS a regular subject in social media or on talk radio.

Following the hit, Chiefs Kingdom was not only livid about the lack of a penalty or any consequence for Cisco or the Jags, but they were simultaneously worried about Smith-Schuster. Many of them took to Twitter to express what he means to the team on and off of the field.

We will be praying that Smith-Schuster is just shaken up and that his long-term health will be okay.
