Najee Harris, Diontae Johnson miss time with injuries against Ravens

BALTIMORE — Barely halfway through the first quarter, the Steelers saw their two best players on offense leave the game against the Ravens with injuries.

Running back Najee Harris and wide receiver Diontae Johnson both were shaken up, Harris on the team’s first possession and Johnson on the second. Harris has an elbow injury, according to the sideline reporter on the CBS broadcast. Johnson was hit hard in the midsection after a 10-yard catch and had to be helped off the field after he was evaluated by trainers.

Both players eventually returned, with Johnson returning before halftime and Harris returning with a brace in the third quarter.
