Worst fear comes true for Steelers punter Cameron Johnston

In his post-game press conference, Mike Tomlin feared the worst for Pittsburgh Steelers punter Cameron Johnston. Those fears have come true, as Ian Rapoport reported that, indeed, Johnston is done for the season.

Johnston, who took a blow to the knee in the fourth quarter of the Steelers’ Week 1 victory over the Falcons, signed a three-year contract in March.

We have to hope Johnston heals up and returns to play again next season, as punting has been a challenge for Pittsburgh since releasing Jordan Berry in 2020.

The Steelers have options — though none near as solid as Johnston — including bringing back Pressley Harvin III (which no one wants to see).
