The injury to Pittsburgh Steelers punter Cameron Johnston Sunday in Atlanta was called a “serious” one by head coach Mike Tomlin after the 18-10 win. How serious remained to be seen.
On Monday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Johnston’s knee injury is season-ending.
Rapoport tweeted the news moments ago.
Based on how things looked live following the injury, it’s not a surprise that Johnston’s season is over. He had a defender fall into his leg, which was planted into the turf, and caused his knee to buckle awkwardly, leaving the veteran punter in pain.
