Steelers injury concerns vary after preseason win over the Lions

The Pittsburgh Steelers faced off against the Detroit Lions on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium, and the one area of concern in any preseason game are always injuries. Mainly avoiding those crucial injuries to key players.

Throughout the Steelers 19-9 win, the team lost several key contributors to injury. The first player to leave was wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who left with what was labeled a shoulder injury. Following Johnson’s removal from the game, T.J. Watt left the game with a left knee injury.

Following those players being ruled out, both were seen on the sidelines in street clothes without any aid.
