The Pittsburgh Steelers are seen as a very solid team. Despite their Week 1 loss against the 49ers, their fans still think that they’ll be able to fight for the NFC North, but apparently they will try to do it without a key weapon.

Diontae Johnson, who is listed as the team’s No. 1 receiver in their depth chart, left with a hamstring injury early in the second half of their matchup against the 49ers. According to ESPN, he will be sidelined for several weeks due to this injury.
