Pittsburgh Steelers broad receiver Diontae Johnson is anticipated to be sidelined “a couple of weeks” as a result of hamstring damage he suffered Sunday towards the San Francisco 49ers, a supply informed ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
Johnson’s damage was one among two vital accidents sustained by the Steelers of their 30-7 blowout loss to the 49ers. Six-time Professional Bowl defensive deal with Cameron Heyward suffered a groin damage and will miss a number of weeks, a supply informed ESPN. A call on whether or not Heyward will bear surgical procedure hasn’t been made but, and he’s ready on one other opinion Tuesday, a supply informed ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
After making his greatest play of the day — a 26-yard reception — Johnson appeared to go down awkwardly. He needed to be helped off and went again to the locker room after a brief analysis within the damage tent. Johnson picked up 21.5 yards after the catch, per NFL Subsequent Gen Stats, good for the Steelers’ longest play of the day in an offensively stagnant outing towards one of many NFL’s greatest defenses within the 49ers.
Johnson completed with three catches on six targets for 48 yards.
