Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hernia) recently underwent sports hernia surgery, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Thursday, Feb. 13.

Footballguys View: Johnson had flashes as a rookie in the 2019 season. The normal recovery from this type of surgery (4-6 weeks) could keep him limited in OTAs and minicamp later this spring. However, Johnson should be good to go for training camp in the summer. We’ll see if he can push James Washington for the No.2 spot in the WR corps opposite of JuJu Smith-Schuster.
