Diontae Johnson Dealing With Multiple Injuries
2 months agoCarolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle, hamstring, ribs) was "limited" on Friday's injury report with hamstring and ribs injuries, in addition to an ankle injury that he's dealt with the last two weeks. Johnson is officially considered questionable to play on Sunday in Week 7 against the hosting Washington Commanders. Canales said that Johnson "looked good" and was "moving around quickly" on Friday before his rib injury popped up. It still seems like the 28-year-old is on the right side of questionable this weekend, but his status is one to monitor going into Saturday, especially with Carolina playing in the later slate on Sunday. Johnson has been a must-start in fantasy with Andy Dalton at QB. If Johnson were to miss the Week 7 contest, rookie Xavier Legette would operate as the WR1, with Jonathan Mingo and rookie Jalen Coker seeing bigger roles.
