This is the second injury Johnson has suffered this preseason. He hurt his hip against Washington in the team's second preseason game. Being the fourth preseason game, Johnson likely wasn't going to play much anyway, so it could be something minor.

The Steelers tied the Panthers at seven after a nice drive engineered by rookie quarterback Landry Jones. Despite a drop by rookie Markus Wheaton and sub-standard protection, he made a few nice throws on the drive.

The Steelers gave up an opening drive touchdown to the Panthers and quarterback Derek Anderson, who hit wide receiver Ted Ginn on the score.
