Pittsburgh Steelers top WR Diontae Johnson, top pass rusher T.J. Watt exit with injuries

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without their top receiving threat and best defender for the end of their preseason finale against the Detroit Lions.

Wide receiver Diontae Johnson and linebacker T.J. Watt were both ruled out of Sunday's game. Watt left with a knee injury.

Johnson appeared to awkwardly land on his shoulder as he was tackled while hauling in a 38-yard reception from Mitch Trubisky. Johnson exited during that drive and was evaluated in the blue medical tent before walking to the locker room.
