Diontae Johnson Officially Activated From Injured Reserve

one year ago

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially activated wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday and placed tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) on IR in a corresponding move. This was a foregone conclusion when Johnson was able to practice in full all week. The 27-year-old will be making his return after injuring his hamstring in the season opener. He will return to starting duties in Pittsburgh alongside George Pickens and Allen Robinson II, although it remains to be seen if the Steelers will elect to limit his snap count in his first game back after the long layoff. Johnson caught three of his six targets for 48 yards in Week 1 before getting hurt. Consider him a WR3/flex option in fantasy lineups in his first game back this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
