Knee injury
Steelers WR Diontae Johnson did not suffer a serious injury yesterday, source says. His status for Sunday vs. the #Bengals is TBD but it’s not a long-term injury. (NFL Network – Mike Garafolo)
Nerdy Football Analysis: The Steelers’ coaching staff is drawing the ire of fans and fantasy managers alike because Johnson got hurt on the meaningless final play of the game. He appeared to be in significant pain, but this report suggests he has a chance to go in Week 3 against the Bengals. While Pittsburgh’s new offense has hurt the fantasy numbers of Chase Claypool and JuJu Smith-Schuster, Johnson has at least 10 targets in both games and should be trusted for about that many again in Week 3 if he plays.
