There wasn't much to cheer for on Sunday.
The Steelers lost their home opener to the Las Vegas Raiders and several players went down with injury.
Cornerback Joe Haden and inside linebacker Devin Bush were ruled out before the game, defensive lineman Tyson Alualu suffered an ankle fracture that is expected to miss the rest of the season and outside linebacker T.J. Watt suffered a groin injury and was unable to return in the second half.
Also injured was wide receiver Diontae Johnson with only a handful of seconds left on the clock and virtually no way of coming back from two scores, Johnson injured his knee.
The move was widely criticized since scoring a touchdown would be meaningless at that point.
But luckily for the Steelers, it appears Johnson's injury isn't as bad as some thought it would be.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Johnson, "did not suffer a serious injury yesterday, source says."
Garafolo adds that while Johnson's status for Sunday against Cincinnati is currently unknown, it's "not a long-term injury."
That's good news for the Steelers leading receiver who has 14 catches for 141 yards and a touchdown so far this season.
