Steelers WR Diontae Johnson left Sunday’s game against the Texans and has been ruled out with a concussion.

Unfortunately, Johnson was held without a catch before leaving and now it will be a question of how long he needs to recover. James Washington now gets an opportunity opposite JuJu Smith-Schuster, who has already found the end zone today. Eric Ebron also has a touchdown and could see more work with Johnson out.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger said he was going to focus on building his connection with WR Diontae Johnson this week, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.

It reflected in practice, according to Johnson. "Mostly every play, the ball was coming my way. Had to make sure I was getting out of my breaks on time," said Johnson.

It has become a weekly occurrence to read or hear about Big Ben and Johnson working on building chemistry. Johnson continues to lead the Steelers in targets and target share as the offense looks to pair another consistent passing weapon JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson was able to log a full practice session on Thursday.

Diontae Johnson missed Wednesday's practice with a toe injury, but it was always considered to be minor. Practicing in full on a Thursday is usually a good sign for a player's availability. Diontae can be trusted as a WR2 with sneaky WR1 upside in what projects as a plus matchup. He is our 14th ranked receiver for Week 3.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson practiced in full Friday and is set to play Sunday, according to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL.

Johnson popped up on the injury report this week but managed to practice enough to play. Johnson looks to improve off of a disappointing fantasy week despite leading the Steelers in targets.
