Diontae Johnson has drawn 43 targets across four starts

After weeks of injury news, the Panthers got some positive news ahead of their Week 7 clash on Sunday. Wide receiver (WR) Diontae Johnson is available for Panther’s matchup against the Commanders.

Johnson was officially listed as questionable after he missed the practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to ribs and hamstring injury.

However, reports have confirmed that the 28-year-old WR will be good to go for Sunday’s clash.

Johnson has drawn 43 targets across four starts. His season stats include 340 yards on 29 receptions (11.7 per catch) and three touchdowns.
