News

  • Hoping for clearance in coming days

    Johnson (sports hernia) said Wednesday that he's hopeful to receive clearance to resume training within the next few days, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson indicated that he first picked up the groin injury Week 2 of the 2019 season and played through the issue before undergoing a procedure over the winter. The second-year receiver has spent time working out with Ben Roethlisberger this offseason in an attempt to develop a rapport with the veteran quarterback, but he's still apparently facing some limitations in his recovery from surgery. Johnson will face competition from James Washington and rookie Chase Claypool for regular reps at…read more

  • Undergoes sports hernia procedure

    Johnson is recovering from sports hernia surgery, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Johnson appears to have undergone the procedure to address an issue he played with during the 2019 regular season, though he wasn't forced to miss any time. A typical recovery for such injuries can take up to six weeks, which would put Johnson on track for training camp, though particularly severe instances can sometimes cause players to miss extended time. The Toledo product led Pittsburgh in catches (59) and receiving touchdowns (five) as a rookie, and he stands to benefit from more…read more

  • Four receptions in finale

    Johnson caught four of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Although the rookie receiver failed to hit the century mark in a game, Johnson finished the 2019 season with a solid 59-680-5 line while playing in all 16 contests. With several players missing time due to injury Johnson led the team in catches and receiving touchdowns as well as targets (92). He also ran for 41 yards on four carries and led the league by averaging 12.4 yards per punt return, including an 85-yard touchdown. Johnson has upside heading into the 2020 season, especially if…read more

  • Lone bright spot on offense

    Johnson caught eight of nine targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Johnson's 29-yard touchdown with four seconds left before halftime tied the score at 10-10. The touchdown was thrown by Mason Rudolph, who came in after Devlin Hodges was benched following two interceptions. Rudolph later injured his shoulder, forcing Hodges back in under center. Johnson led the Steelers in targets, catches and yards in this one, operating as the team's top receiver over a clearly banged-up JuJu Smith-Schuster. The rookie third-round pick out of Toledo will have some Week 17…read more

  • Solid in defeat

    Johnson caught five of seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Johnson had a solid performance given the matchup, but the red-zone struggles of the offense cost him a repeat touchdown performance. He was targeted in the end zone on a throw, but the pass was intercepted to snuff the scoring chance. The 23-year-old maintains deep-league value while Juju Smith-Schuster (knee) remains sidelined, which could happen again when the Steelers take on the Jets on Sunday.

  • Scores twice in win over Cardinals

    Johnson caught six of eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Pittsburgh's 23-17 win over Arizona on Sunday. He also ran once for 16 yards and scored on an 85-yard punt return.

    Analysis: Entering this contest, Johnson had averaged 7.1 yards per punt return with a long of 14 yards, but he took an Andy Lee punt to the house to give Pittsburgh an early 10-0 lead. Johnson had not scored in his last five games before doing so twice against Arizona, including the first kick return for a touchdown of his career. With fantasy playoffs underway, Johnson is a boom-or-bust play. Fantasy owners should temper expectations in Week 15 against a Buffalo pass defense that has held opposing wide…read more

  • Returns to full practice

    Johnson (illness) practiced fully Thursday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: With JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) looking likely to miss Sunday's game against the Cardinals, James Washington and Johnson -- who was limited at practice Wednesday -- appear on track to head the Steelers' Week 14 wideout corps.

  • Under the weather

    Johnson was limited at practice Wednesday due to an illness.

    Analysis: The illness isn't likely to impact Johnson's Week 14 status, and that's a good thing, as fellow receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is still nursing a knee injury that clouds his availability for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

  • Bottled up in win

    Johnson caught only one of his five targets for a 14-yard gain and added a 17-yard run during Sunday's 20-13 win over Cleveland.

    Analysis: The rookie receiver might be in the doghouse after Sunday's game, as he stopped running and helped surrender what might have been a costly interception late in Sunday's contest. Johnson has been targeted plenty in recent weeks, but he's topped 30 yards receiving just once in his last five games. The elixir could be on tap in Week 14 against a weak Arizona pass defense. Johnson should get his opportunities whether or not JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) continues to be sidelined, though…read more

  • Key role awaits in Week 13

    Johnson and James Washington are expected to serve as the Steelers' primary options at wide receiver Sunday against the Browns with JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) ruled out for a second straight game, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pryor speculates that Deon Cain could also see a bump in snaps after making a big 35-yard catch in last week's 16-10 win over Cincinnati, but Johnson and Washington should remain the team's clear top two receivers after handling 68 percent and 78 percent offensive snaps shares, respectively, against the Bengals. Washington provided the top highlight last week -- a 79-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown -- but the wideouts have seen similar involvement in the passing game throughout the season.…read more

  • Makes three catches in return

    Johnson caught three of six targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: After recovering from a concussion, Johnson finished second on the team in targets in his return, though he only managed to haul in half the passes sent his way. He recorded a long gain of 14 yards but never really got in a rhythm after Devlin Hodges took over under center. Johnson seems to be at full speed after his injury, but his upside is capped in next Sunday's matchup with the Browns due to lackluster quarterback play.

  • Cleared to play

    Johnson (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Johnson practiced fully all week, which puts him in line to play Sunday. He'll play a key role opposite fellow wideout James Washington this weekend, with JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion/knee) already having been ruled out on Friday's final Week 12 injury report. In that context, Johnson -- who caught two passes for 17 yards while logging 38 snaps before exiting Week 11's loss to the Browns -- appears to be in a good spot for a bounce-back effort, facing an 0-10 Cincinnati squad that has…read more

  • Another full practice

    Johnson (concussion) was listed as a full participant at Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson's ability to complete full practices on back-to-back days to kick off the week bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Bengals, but he'll retain an injury tag until he gains clearance from an independent neurologist, the final stage of the NFL's five-step protocol for concussions. Assuming Johnson ultimately gets the green light to play, he'll likely represent one of the top targets for quarterback Mason Rudolph, especially with No. 1 wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster…read more

  • Practices fully, but in protocol

    Johnson (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Adam Schefter of ESPN previously suggested that it might be a "mild upset" to see Johnson play Sunday against the Bengals, the wideout's participation in the first practice of Week 12 offers some encouragement about his prospects. In any case, Johnson still resides in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, which is also the case with fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee/concussion), who didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday.

  • Week 12 status in question

    Johnson (concussion) doesn't appear to be trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Bengals, with Adam Schefter of ESPN labeling it "a mild upset" if the receiver were to garner an active status.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee/concussion) also looks unlikely to play this week, which would leave Pittsburgh with a depleted receiver room. In the event both Smith-Schuster and Johnson are sidelined in Week 12, James Washington, Johnny Holton, Tevin Jones and Deon Cain would represent the Steelers' healthy options at wideout.

  • Enters concussion protocol

    Johnson was diagnosed with a concussion after exiting Thursday's 21-7 loss to the Browns following a helmet-to-helmet hit from Cleveland safety Damarious Randall, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Pittsburgh ended up losing both of its top two receivers to concussions in the contest, as JuJu Smith-Schuster exited in the first half with the head injury before Johnson followed him to the locker room in the third quarter. Johnson's concussion may have been the more significant of the two, as Schefter notes the rookie was bleeding from his ear after being hit by Randall. Johnson will need to clear the NFL's five-step protocol before he's able to play again, but the fact that Pittsburgh's…read more

  • Ineffective before exiting

    Johnson caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Thursday's 21-7 loss to the Browns before exiting in the third quarter after he was on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit from the Browns' Damarious Randall.

    Analysis: In what can only be characterized as an ugly game -- from the inept Pittsburgh offense to the numerous injuries to the multiple player ejections -- Johnson continued to frustrate fantasy managers before suffering his own game-ending injury. He will have 10 days to clear the league's concussion protocol before the Steelers play their next game Week 12 versus Cincinnati. Johnson was limited to three catches for 15 yards in the Steelers' first matchup with the Bengals back in Week 4.

  • Ruled out for remainder of contest

    Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's contest against the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was down on the field for several minutes after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from Damarious Randall. The rookie will now enter league concussion protocol testing, so look for more updates on his status to come next week when the Steelers resume practice. In the meantime, James Washington, Johnny Holton and Tevin Jones will be the only available wideouts for Pittsburgh for the remainder of the contest.

  • Questionable to return

    Johnson is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's contest against the Browns, Steelers Director of Communications Burt Lauten reports.

    Analysis: Johnson took a nasty helmet-to-helmet hit from Damarious Randall, who was ejected from the contest as a result. The rookie will have to pass concussion protocol before he can return to the field. The Steelers are already down JuJu Smith-Schuster -- who also suffered a concussion in Thursday's contest. As a result, James Washington, Johnny Holton and Tevin Jones will be the only active wide receivers remaining in the game.

  • Contributes 64 yards in win

    Johnson caught four of six targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: The Steelers offense struggled to get anything going for most of the game, resulting in its fewest points scored since Week 1. What little offense the team could muster came in the first half and Johnson's game mirrored that of the team, as he pulled in all four of his receptions in the first 20 minutes. He was only targeted once in the entire second half, and while his role does seem to be increasing, Johnson cannot be relied upon to provide consistent fantasy production. Pittsburgh has a…read more

  • Held in check

    Johnson caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Colts. He also ran once for two yards.

    Analysis: The downfield passing game was virtually non-existent for the Steelers, with quarterback Mason Rudolph averaging just 5.5 yards per attempt and targeting running back Jaylen Samuels as many times (13) as all other players combined. This was a disappointing effort for Johnson after catching five of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in his previous game. Week 10 doesn't look to be any better for the rookie receiver, as opposing wideouts have not scored a touchdown against the Rams in the…read more
