Pittsburgh Steelers second year wide receiver Diontae Johnson is poised to have a nice sophomore season after leading all rookie wide receivers in receptions in 2019. While Johnson’s rookie season included him struggling through a hamstring injury during training camp a year ago and a groin injury during the 16-game stretch, he’s much healthier this year with 40 days remaining until the team’s Week 1 road game against the New York Giants.
During a Wednesday Zoom call with the media, Johnson was asked about the sports hernia surgery he had earlier in the spring and the Toledo product indicated he’s now fully recovered from that.
