We’re so so close to the season opener. I am so excited beyond belief as I am every year. With that comes some great news. A player who was questionable and limited in practice all week is ready to go.
Johnson cleared and ready to play
Diontae Johnson has told reporters he is ready and will be playing in the week one matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Over the last few years Johnson has been the most productive receiver and the most targeted. He will definitely be needed in a tough matchup that I believe is a Steelers must win. It’s a divisional game and also it does not get easier from there. The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the toughest schedules in the league so they will need all hands on deck. It’s great news to know Mitch will have his top receiver to go into Cincinnati.
Diontae Johnson being available also means great news for the other guys in the room. He will command attention from defenders and is a reliable target for Mitch Trubisky. This also means other guys such as Chase Claypool and George Pickens will face a lot of one on one matchups that I believe both can exploit.
As always thanks for reading! You can always fine great Steelers content here on the Gridiron Heroics.
