Not playing Sunday Johnson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Johnson took a hit to his back during Pittsburgh's Week 5 win against the Eagles, finishing his day with one catch for minus-two yards. During the week, he followed a DNP/LP/DNP practice regimen before the Steelers' ultimately made the call on his availability Sunday. With Johnson out of the lineup, the offense will lean on JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Washington, Chase Claypool and Ray-Ray McCloud at wide receiver.

Sits out practice Wednesday Johnson (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Per coach Mike Tomlin, Johnson took a direct blow to his back during Sunday's 38-29 win against the Eagles. That said, the Steelers have optimism that the wideout -- who's been getting routine days off at practice this season -- will be fit to play this weekend against the Browns. A return to the practice field in any capacity Thursday would support that notion.

Impact Johnson left Sunday's game in the first half and didn't return, finishing with one catch for minus-two yards. His second season as a pro has been injury-riddled, as he's tended to foot and toe issues as well as a concussion. He benefitted from the Steelers' unexpected bye Week 4 when their opponent, the Titans, were hammered by positive COVID-19 tests, but with no scheduled respite the rest of the way, Johnson's status will need to be watched in advance of a Week 6 AFC North bout with the Browns.
