Is Diontae Johnson playing today? The latest on the Panthers WR for Week 6

Will the Carolina Panthers have their top receiver for today’s divisional clash against the Atlanta Falcons?

Wideout Diontae Johnson has become somewhat of a fixture on the team’s injury report of late. After continuing to deal with a groin strain, a setback he sustained during the summer, the former Pro Bowler has been popping up with an ankle issue.

Johnson was a limited participant in each of Carolina’s three practice sessions this week. And on Friday’s injury report, the Panthers listed the 28-year-old as “questionable” for Sunday’s NFC South matchup.

Well, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Johnson should be in uniform later this afternoon . . .

Johnson currently leads the team with 262 receiving yards.

If he does suit up, he’ll look to bounce back from a quiet performance in Week 5—where he recorded three catches for 23 yards in the Panthers’ 36-10 loss to the Chicago Bears.
