NFL-- Steelers fans ecstatic with Diontae Johnson's injury update

The Pittsburgh Steelers want to make the playoffs once more and have a successful first season without Ben Roethlisberger.

They should be able to put forth a valiant effort considering that they have stars like T.J. Watt, Diontae Johnson, Najee Harris, and Cameron Hayward.

After sustaining a shoulder injury in the final game of the preseason, Johnson's start to the season initially appeared doomed.

The good news for Steelers supporters is that he claimed to have participated fully in practise on Friday and to be ready for the team's season opener.

Despite the fact that Mike Tomlin claimed Johnson might have returned to the game following his injury.

It's encouraging to know that Johnson is definitely prepared to play once more.

The 26-year-old will become even more crucial for the group going forward.
