Diontae Johnson Helped Off the Field with Right Leg Injury
The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a number of injuries in their 27-16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, including one to a star wide receiver on the last play of the game.
Steelers wideout Diontae Johnson suffered an apparent right knee injury after catching a pass in the final seconds, and required the assistance of two people as he exited the field, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.
And another injury: Steelers WR Diontae Johnson was helped off the field by two people following an injury on what would be the final play of the game against the Raiders. Brutal.

Johnson had been shaken up earlier in the game, but was able to return just a few plays later. He also temporarily left last week’s season-opening win against the Buffalo Bills with a right knee issue.
Johnson led the Steelers with nine receptions for 105 yards in Sunday’s loss.
