Steelers Activate WR Diontae Johnson From COVID-19 List; Place ILB Buddy Johnson On IR

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a few transactions on Friday with one being a significant one.

On Friday, the Steelers announced that wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. That should mean that Johnson will wind up playing on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Johnson was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list just a few days ago so this is considered a surprising development.

Johnson enters Week 18 with 100 receptions for 1,110 yards and eight touchdowns on the season. In the Steelers’ first meeting against the Ravens, Johnson registered eight receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
