Steelers Open Practice Window For Diontae Johnson

Steelers Open Practice Window For Diontae Johnson

one year ago

The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) and running back Anthony McFarland Jr. (knee) on Monday to return from Injured Reserve. The Steelers are coming off their bye and head into a Week 7 game against the Los Angeles Rams, but they could have both Johnson and McFarland active if they look good in practice this week. The Steelers will have to officially activate them both from IR before that happens, though. Johnson is the more appealing fantasy commodity. The 27-year-old injured his right hamstring in Week 1 and hasn't played since. When healthy, he will return to being one of quarterback Kenny Pickett's top aerial targets alongside George Pickens. Pick Johnson up off the waiver wire if he's available in your league and you could use another wideout.
