Steelers WR Diontae Johnson Injured vs. Jaguars

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense suffered a second key injury against the Jaguars.
In this story:

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers lost another star in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars as wide receiver Diontae Johnson left the game with an injury. 

Johnson was helped by the trainers following a touchdown pass from Mitch Trubisky to George Pickens. He was taken to the medical tent with assistance and appeared to be in some discomfort while walking. 

The Steelers wideout returned just last week from a hamstring injury that placed him on Injured Reserve after Week 1. He sat out a day of practice this week as a precaution but said he was fully healthy by the weekend. 

Johnson caught eight passes for 85 yards before the injury. 

It's unknown what the injury is at this time. 

Without him, the Steelers will turn to George Pickens, Calvin Austin and Allen Robinson as their top wide receivers, with Miles Boykin available off the bench. 

All Steelers will continue to provide updates on Johnson's injury as the team releases new information.
