Steelers Add Three More Injuries at Training Camp
LATROBE — The Pittsburgh Steelers continued to be hit by injuries at training camp, with three players leaving practice before it's close on Day 6.
Defensive end DeMarvin Leal, safety Keanu Neal and wide receiver Diontae Johnson were all named on the team's injury report by head coach Mike Tomlin following practice. Leal has an ankle injury. Specifics of the other two were not mentioned.
Leal matched up with Nate Herbig in an offensive versus defensive line drill and stayed down on the field following the play. Teammates and trainers helped him up and to the sideline where they evaluated him. He eventually popped up and was back on the sideline, but did not return to the field for another player.
It's unknown when Johnson or Neal's day ended.
Without Neal, the Steelers could be down to all backups at safety. Minkah Fitzpatrick has been excused for personal reasons and Damontae Kazee is dealing with an ankle injury. In their place, Neal and Kenny Robinson have filled the starting role.
As for Johnson, he appeared to be moving around after practice, talking to fans and signing autographs. If he does miss time, George Pickens, Calvin Austin and Allen Robinson will resume starting spots, with Cody White making an appearance on the first team the last week.
