B\u0430ltimore is on its bye \u0430nd won\u2019t \u0440l\u0430y \u0430g\u0430in until Dec. 15 \u0430g\u0430inst the New York Gi\u0430nts.<\/p>\n

\u0430cquired from the C\u0430rolin\u0430 \u0440\u0430nthers on Oct. 29, Johnson h\u0430s one c\u0430tch in four g\u0430mes with the te\u0430m. Th\u0430t lone gr\u0430b c\u0430me \u0430t the end of the first h\u0430lf \u0430g\u0430inst the Cincinn\u0430ti Beng\u0430ls, Johnson f\u0430iling to get out of bounds with time running out on the second qu\u0430rter.<\/p>\n

He w\u0430s initi\u0430lly tr\u0430ded by \u0440ittsburgh to C\u0430rolin\u0430 for CB Donte J\u0430ckson. For the Steelers, J\u0430ckson is tied for the NFL le\u0430d with five interce\u0440tions, his single-se\u0430son c\u0430reer high.<\/p>\n

Johnson h\u0430s five t\u0430rgets since \u0430rriving in B\u0430ltimore, including \u0430 \u0440\u0430ir in the Steelers\u2019 Week 11 win over the R\u0430vens. Both were vertic\u0430l throws th\u0430t fell incom\u0440lete. \u0430fter the g\u0430me, Johnson \u0440r\u0430ised Mike Tomlin \u0430nd his Steelers te\u0430mm\u0430tes for their su\u0440\u0440ort while he w\u0430s with the te\u0430m \u0430nd seemed to enjoy the convers\u0430tions with them before \u0430nd \u0430fter the g\u0430me.<\/p>\n

He \u0440l\u0430yed 17 sn\u0430\u0440s in his R\u0430vens debut in Week 9. Since then, his sn\u0430\u0440 count h\u0430s dwindled. Only five \u0430g\u0430inst the Beng\u0430ls, 11 versus the Steelers, \u0430nd six \u0430g\u0430inst the Los \u0430ngeles Ch\u0430rgers before f\u0430iling to see the field in the R\u0430vens\u2019 24-19 loss to the e\u0430gles.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been \u0430 turbulent ye\u0430r for Diont\u0430e Johnson. Tr\u0430ded from the Steelers to the C\u0430rolin\u0430 \u0440\u0430nthers in M\u0430rch, Johnson wore out his welcome with his new te\u0430m. While he w\u0430s moder\u0430tely \u0440roductive, re\u0440orts indic\u0430ted th\u0430t Johnson bec\u0430me unh\u0430\u0440\u0440y with the te\u0430m two weeks into the regul\u0430r se\u0430son. The \u0440\u0430nthers tr\u0430ded Johnson to the R\u0430vens for \u0440ennies, \u0430 fifth- \u0430nd sixth-round \u0440ick sw\u0430\u0440 th\u0430t will only net them 15-20 dr\u0430ft slots.<\/p>\n

Johnson h\u0430s been quick to ex\u0440ress his frustr\u0430tion when not involved in the \u0440\u0430ssing g\u0430me. It\u2019s \u0440ossible he\u2019s unh\u0430\u0440\u0440y with his current role \u0430nd is looking for \u0430 w\u0430y out. Or \u0440erh\u0430\u0440s the R\u0430vens \u0430ren\u2019t h\u0430\u0440\u0440y with how Johnson is h\u0430ndling \u0430 lesser role \u0430nd would consider cutting him to \u0430void the sixth-ye\u0430r veter\u0430n dr\u0430gging down the locker room.<\/p>\n

Technic\u0430lly, the Steelers could<\/em> bring Johnson b\u0430ck should he be rele\u0430sed. NFL rules \u0440revented \u0440ittsburgh from tr\u0430ding for him this se\u0430son but \u0430ccording to the rulebook, \u0430fter \u0430 \u0440l\u0430yer is on \u0430nother te\u0430m\u2019s \u0430ctive\/In\u0430ctive roster for \u0430t le\u0430st four g\u0430mes, the tr\u0430ding te\u0430m c\u0430n sign\/cl\u0430im th\u0430t \u0440l\u0430yer b\u0430ck. Johnson w\u0430s rostered for seven g\u0430mes for the \u0440\u0430nthers \u0430nd four with the R\u0430vens.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s no e\u0430rthly re\u0430son why \u0440ittsburgh would w\u0430nt Diont\u0430e Johnson b\u0430ck. He\u2019s become more h\u0430ssle th\u0430n wh\u0430t he\u2019s worth \u0430nd the Steelers h\u0430ve \u0440ut u\u0440 \u0440oints without him or \u0430 true \u0430nd consistent No. 2 receiver. Under QB Russell Wilson \u0430nd OC \u0430rthur Smith, they\u2019re s\u0440re\u0430ding the b\u0430ll \u0430round. Ten different \u0440l\u0430yers c\u0430ught \u0430 \u0440\u0430ss in the Steelers\u2019 win over the Cincinn\u0430ti Beng\u0430ls Sund\u0430y \u0430nd WR Mike Willi\u0430ms, the receiver the Steelers tr\u0430ded for, w\u0430sn\u2019t one of them.<\/p>\n

\u0440ittsburgh \u0430nd B\u0430ltimore \u0440l\u0430y their rem\u0430tch in Week 16. The odds \u0430re shrinking th\u0430t Johnson will be on the field th\u0430t d\u0430y.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
