It’s no secret that Diontae Johnson ended his hold-in and returned to Pittsburgh Steelers practice today after signing a contract extension. In his press conference after practice today, Tomlin was asked about Johnson coming back, per a tweet from Jeff Hathorn.
“You know, he’s a significant piece. He’s done a good job of staying connected throughout the process. And so, his train left the station today. I’d imagine it’s not gonna be much of a transition in terms of him getting up to speed,” Tomlin said.
While Johnson wasn’t an active participant in practice, he was still out on the sidelines and present at Saint Vincent College.
