Rutgers Scarlet Knights wide receiver KJ Duff, considered a potential draft target for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has suffered a season-ending injury, according to a report from Steelers Now.

The injury news comes after Duff appeared in a game against the Penn State Nittany Lions on November 29, 2025, at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey, where he caught a two-point conversion. The specific nature and timing of the injury were not detailed in the initial report.

Duff, who wears number 8 for Rutgers, had been on the radar of NFL scouts as a prospective late-round pick or priority free agent for the 2026 draft class. The Steelers, who have sought depth at wide receiver, were among the teams monitoring his progress.
