Nerdy Football Analysis: The team isn’t required to produce an injury report, so the exact nature of his injury remains a bit of a mystery. Regardless, his absence is costing him valuable reps with Ben Roethlisberger – something he didn’t get a lot last season when the quarterback went down for the season in Week 2. Johnson’s pursuit of a Year 2 breakout shouldn’t be set back too much if he can return soon, and he’s still very much considering as a low-end WR3 with significant upside in 2020.
