The Football Feed
The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting a big piece of their lineup back today ahead of their matchup in Hollywood against the Los Angeles Rams. Wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been activated from the Reserve/Injured list, and he's back in action as the team looks to improve their record to 4-2.
And needless to say, Johnson is thrilled to be back.
"I am very excited. It's been a long process, fighting to get back. I am looking forward to showing them I am ready," said Johnson.
Meanwhile, head coach Mike Tomlin can't wait to see Johnson's expert rout running on the field today.
"Expert route running," said Tomlin of what he brings. "He is a route runner. Vertical, non-vertical. He can create separation at break points.
"That is his distinguishing trait, but that is no secret."
"That spark from a route running standpoint," said Johnson. "Me being able to get open easily. Comfort for Kenny (Pickett) out there knowing he can rely on his guys, knowing who is going to be open each down and distance. We can play fast knowing Kenny is comfortable, he has his guys back. Just us playing as one and moving fast."
Can Johnson help the Steelers improve their record to 4-2 this afternoon?
