Pittsburgh wide receiver Johnson to miss several weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson will most likely be out of the field for several weeks due to a hamstring problem he sustained two days ago vs. the San Francisco 49ers.

Diontae’s injury was 1 of 2 significant injuries suffered by Pittsburgh in their 30-7 defeat to San Francisco. 6-time Pro Bowl DT Cameron Heyward sustained a groin injury and could also be sidelined for a few weeks. An arrangement on whether Cameron will undergo the procedure hasn’t been decided yet, and he is waiting on another opinion today.

After making his best play of the day – a twenty-six-yard reception – the wide receiver appeared to go down very strangely. His teammates helped him leave the field and went to the locker room after examining his problem in the tent.

Diontae finished the match with 3 catches on 6 targets for 48 yards.
