In the preseason, all teams want to do is avoid injuries. For the Steelers, that didn't happen for them today in their final preseason game. EDGE rusher T.J. Watt and wide receiver Diontae Johnson both left the game with injuries.

That's basically the last thing you want to see if you are the Steelers or their fans. The extent of the injuries are not known yet, but all you can do is hope that they aren't significant.

Last season, Watt was one of the best defensive players in the NFL. Johnson was the best WR for the Steelers and enjoyed a breakout season. He also just got a contract extension. Both players are extremely important for the Steelers this season and beyond.
