Johnson brought in three of five targets for 46 yards in the Steelers' 17-7 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday. He also returned three punts for 11 yards, muffing one of those chances but recovering his own fumble.
Johnson has previously dealt with a hip injury, but he bounced back nicely Saturday to check in second to team leader James Washington in both receptions and receiving yards. The rookie should enjoy weekly targets to open the season if he can secure the No. 4 wideout role, but he'll continue to have competition in the form of Eli Rogers and Ryan Switzer (quadriceps) for the time being.
