Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Diontae Johnson returned to practice this week after missing the first preseason game, so he is anticipated to make his debut later tonight. The fourth pick in the third round has had his ups and downs in multiple ways during the 2019 offseason as he prepared for his first NFL season.
The most frustrating part, for both Johnson and the organization, has been the injuries that he has dealt with. He had a groin injury back in rookie minicamp that lingered throughout the spring, for example, and wasn’t in the greatest shape.
