Report: Steelers WR Diontae Johnson ‘Will Be In Concussion Protocol’

The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered several injuries during their Thursday night road loss to the Cleveland Browns and the Week 12 statuses of all four players who left that prime-time televised contest aren’t likely to be known fully until sometime late next week. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson were two of those four players and on Thursday Adam Schfeter of ESPN offered an update on the latter.

According to Schefter, Johnson suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the Thursday night on the hit to the head he took from Browns safety Damarious Randall, will remain in concussion protocol and the team will monitor his status before their Week 12 road game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
