Jonnu Smith Injury: Not practicing

Smith (knee) missed practice Tuesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

The tight end made an early exit from practice last Tuesday, but Steelers coach Mike Tomlin downplayed the issue and Smith took part in a light, non-padded practice the following day. It seems he's still being held out from more strenuous sessions, however. Smith has plenty of time to get right before Week 1, at which point he and Pat Freiermuth will form one of the better TE duos in the league.
