Logs full practice Johnson (toe) returned to a full practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Johnson, who sat out Wednesday's session, returned to the lineup last weekend after a Week 6 absence due to a back injury and proceeded to rack up nine catches on 15 targets for 80 yards and two TDs in the Steelers' 27-24 win over the Titans. With a full practice under his belt Thursday after managing his toe issue, Johnson is poised to handle his usual starting role against the 5-1 Ravens on Sunday.

Aiming to practice Thursday Johnson (ankle) told Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he intends to take the practice field Thursday.
Impact Johnson is coming off one of his best fantasy performances of the season with two touchdowns Week 7 against Tennessee, but the injury bug bit again and he was forced to leave the contest early. The second-year wideout proceeded to begin the week with a missed practice session, but it seems he intends to be back out there Thursday, which would only increase his chances of getting to suit up for a key divisional matchup Week 8 in Baltimore.

Misses practice Wednesday Johnson (toe) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Wednesday's injury report doesn't reference an ankle bruise the wideout reportedly suffered in Week 7 against the Titans, while it's also worth noting that Johnson, who has often sat out practice on Wednesdays, managed a toe issue earlier in the season. We'll revisit Johnson's status Thursday to see if he returns to a full session or remains out or limited as the Steelers continue their preparation for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Two touchdowns prior to injury Johnson (ankle) recorded nine receptions on 15 targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7 against the Titans.
Impact Johnson returned after a Week 6 absence with a back injury and showed no rust early on. He tallied two of the first three Steelers' touchdowns on 11 and nine yard receptions respectively. He was also Ben Roethlisberger's favorite wideout, as Johnson picked up a career-best 15 targets. Despite the excellent performance, Johnson was forced to exit the game in the midst of the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reported that the injury would not jeopardize Johnson's status for Week 8, though it will be worth noting his practice participation leading up to the Steelers' contest against the Ravens.

Logs full practice Johnson (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Johnson's back injury caused him to miss Sunday's divisional win over the Browns, but he now appears fully on track to return for the Steelers' Week 7 contest against the undefeated Titans. If Johnson is indeed able to return to the starting lineup while avoiding any setbacks, he stands to handle his usual role in three-receiver sets alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Chase Claypool, while James Washington would seemingly become the odd man out.
