Mike Tomlin On Diontae Johnson And Benny Snell: ‘We’ll Play Those Guys Next Week’

Last week during his pre-game press conference in preparation for yesterday’s game against the Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that he would “leave the light on” for everybody on the roster to participate, allowing some injured players to work out before the game to determine whether or not he would play them.

Among those who went through that pre-game warmup were a pair of rookie draft picks, third-round wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who caught a touchdown in the second preseason game, and fourth-round running back Benny Snell, who has gotten more work in the backfield than anybody else on the roster this offseason.
