On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers placed wide receiver Diontae Johnson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Just two days later the team announced they were removing Johnson from that very same list.
This has to be some sort of record for being one and then off the COVID list but the team didn’t offer any details. It could have been a case of a false positive but I am not going to speculate. I’m just going to be grateful that Pittsburgh is going to have their top receiver back against the worst pass defense in the NFL in the Baltimore Ravens.
Johnson leads the team with 100 receptions and 1,100 receiving yards on the season. These are both career highs for the third-year pro as he continues to ascend to one of the top receivers in the AFC.
We have:
• Activated WR Diontae Johnson from the Reserve/COVID-19 List
• Placed LB Buddy Johnson on the Reserve/Injured List
• Signed G Nate Gilliam to the practice squad
• Released WR Rico Bussey & WR Damion Willis from the practice squad@BordasLawhttps://t.co/ZZFAcHSHw7— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) January 7, 2022
