I’m fine! Great team win though 🙏🏾

After the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-21 win over the Houston Texans, head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed wide receiver Diontae Johnson did indeed suffer a concussion during the game.
But after the game, Johnson took to Twitter to let everyone know he was fine. This sounds great but the NFL concussion protocol is very stringent and so heading into a week of preparation for the Tennessee Titans it is unclear if Johnson will be available.
In Johnson’s place, rookie Chase Claypool stepped in and played the most snaps of any wide receiver on the team on Sunday. If Johnson isn’t available this week, look for an expanded role for Claypool as well as James Washington as part of the scheme adjustment.
