Diontae Johnson Good To Go For Week 11
1 year agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (thumb) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and has been removed from the final Week 11 injury report. He will suit up on Sunday to take on the division-rival Cleveland Browns. Johnson's status for this weekend was initially up in the air when he missed practice on Wednesday, but it was clearly just for rest purposes. The 27-year-old missed four games from Weeks 2 to 5 with a hamstring injury but cleared 70 receiving yards in three straight games upon his return before nosediving with one catch for 17 yards in the Week 10 win over the Green Bay Packers. He'll be looking to bounce back this Sunday, but a second straight poor outing could be in the cards against one of the NFL's best defenses on the road.
