Just when it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers had the punter position figured out following the addition of Cameron Johnston in free agency this offseason, it appears the team will be going back to square one very soon following Johnston’s “serious” injury suffered Sunday in Atlanta.
Johnston was injured on a punt in the fourth quarter after getting hit in the lower leg when his kicking leg was planted in the turf after his follow through, causing his knee to buckle awkwardly and leaving him in considerable pain.
Johnston hobbled off the field after being attended to by trainers, and then was carted to the locker room.
