Steelers WR Diontae Johnson put on IR, out at least 4 games

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed wide receiver Diontae Johnson on injured reserve Monday, meaning he will be sidelined for at least the next four games.

The move was made hours ahead of the Steelers' Week 2 game against the Cleveland Browns on "Monday Night Football."

Johnson sustained a hamstring injury during the Steelers' Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

The injury occurred early in the third quarter against the 49ers as Johnson tried to make a cut after picking up a first down at the end of a 26-yard gain.
