Steelers WR Diontae Johnson, LB Alex Highsmith OUT vs Bengals

On Friday, the Pittsburgh Steelers put out their official game status report for this week’s matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals and the news isn’t great.

The Steelers have wide receiver Diontae Johnson, linebacker Alex Highsmith and defensive end Carlos Davis all listed as OUT for this week’s game. Johnson and Davis are both dealing with knee injuries and Highsmith is part of a group of players on the mend from groin injuries.

Pittsburgh also listed outside linebacker T.J. Watt as questionable with a groin injury as well. If Watt cannot go in addition to Highsmith, It would be Melvin Ingram and Jamir Jones handling the pass-rushing duties.
