Pittsburgh Steelers WR Brandon Johnson is questionable to return in the team’s preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers with a foot injury, per Steelers’ senior director of communications Burt Lauten.
Johnson is on the roster bubble at wide receiver, and as it stands right now, he’s probably on the outside looking in. He appeared in three games for the Steelers last season, all coming as a practice squad elevation, catching one pass for nine yards. Prior to his stint with the Steelers, Johnson spent two seasons with the Denver Broncos.
A strong performance tonight could’ve been key to Johnson’s chances of making the initial 53-man roster with cutdowns coming next week.
