It was a scary sight for the Pittsburgh Steelers early in the second half of the Week One loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Wide receiver Diontae Johnson lay crumpled on the turf grabbing the back of his leg after a 26-yard catch-and-run.
Johnson suffered a hamstring injury on the play, immediately leaving the game and being ruled out rather quickly.
Though Johnson is expected to miss up to four weeks, he has not been placed on Injured Reserve. Speaking with reporters Thursday from inside the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, Johnson stated that he couldn’t quite walk in the days following the loss, but that he’s feeling a bit better now and isn’t putting a timetable on his recovery, according to a tweet from ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.
