Next Man Up Mentality: WR Room Confident Steelers Have The Pieces To Fill In For Injured Diontae Johnson

Whichever comes first, insult and injury as a pair is never fun. The Pittsburgh Steelers got a good amount of both on Sunday courtesy of the San Francisco 49ers in their home-opening loss. Now it’s a matter of finding out how big the injuries are—the insult, by the way, was 30-7.

While the most significant injury appeared to be for DL Cameron Heyward, who could potentially be facing groin surgery, we are also awaiting word on WR Diontae Johnson, who went down with an evident hamstring injury early in the second half.

A former Pro Bowler, he has been a veteran starter for the team for the past few years.
