Johnson's Injury Another Setback for Steelers Backfield

Johnson, who has been splitting practice time between fullback and tight end, said before the Wild Card game he thought he may have an increased role in the backfield with the Steelers down to their third-string running back, Fitzgerald Toussaint, per Jacob Klinger of PennLive.com.

However, he did not get much of a chance after suffering the injury early. The Steelers will have to dig deep into the playbook to overcome the injuries that have plagued their backfield.
