Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson returned to practice Friday.

He told reporters he was held out Thursday as a precaution and that he will suit up for Sunday’s game against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars.

“It’s nothing to be worried about,” he said of his troublesome hamstring, per The Athletic. “I’ll be playing Sunday.”

He missed three games with a hamstring injury before returning with five catches for 79 yards in last weekend’s 24-17 road win against the Los Angeles Rams.

Johnson, 27, has just eight receptions for 127 yards and no touchdowns in three games this season.

He has 348 grabs for 3,773 yards and 20 TDs in 67 games (58 starts) since the Steelers drafted him in the third round in 2019.
