For the Steelers, the only good news to come out of the unexpected and early bye week is that wide receiver Diontae Johnson had extra time to clear concussion protocol.
Mike Tomlin confirmed in his weekly press conference that Johnson will play on Sunday.
Through eight quarters, Johnson has posted 149 yards receiving and a touchdown.
Additionally, fullback Derek Watt (hamstring) and safety Marcus Allen (foot) are working their way back. Watt has been doing some running, and Allen is working the pool. We’ll hear more about their status for the Eagles’ matchup later in the week.
