The Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with a rash of injuries regarding their starters, including Ben Roethlisberger and TJ Watt. Now, they are also dealing with an injury to wide receiver Diontae Johnson. On Tuesday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin gave an honest assessment of Johnson's injury, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. 

That doesn't sound like a positive update regarding Johnson, and his status for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals is up in the air. If Johnson misses time, the Steelers will turn to more targets for JuJu Smith-Schuster as well as Chase Claypool, and rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth could be in line for some more work as well.

Ben Roethlisberger is dealing with an injury, and the Steelers aren't sure if TJ Watt will be able to suit up for Sunday's game, so it has just been one blow after another for Tomlin's squad.
