Steelers ‘Count On’ Diontae Johnson Being Available Sunday, But Confident In Depth At WR If Not

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson suffered a shoulder injury during the first half of the team’s final preseason game, landing awkwardly after catching a deep pass. The issue has lingered, which he has described as “annoying”, but he has been able to participate on a limited basis thus far entering the final day of practice. Will he be good to go for the season opener?

“We’ll count on him being ready to go”, offensive coordinator Matt Canada told reporters about his number one receiver’s status yesterday, via transcript provided by the team’s media department. “He was obviously limited yesterday so we feel good about his progress”.
