Carolina Panthers wideout Diontae Johnson will have to overcome three separate injuries to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Washington Commanders.

After not participating in practices on both Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle issue, Johnson returned to the field in a limited capacity this afternoon and has been listed as questionable for Week 7. That status, however, was accompanied by two additional details—as team's report from Friday listed ribs and hamstring injuries for the 28-year-old.

Head coach Dave Canales spoke about Johnson following practice:

Johnson has dealt with numerous road bumps throughout his first season in Carolina. Along with the existing injuries, he also sustained a groin strain during the summer.

Nonetheless, Johnson has played in all six games to this point—leading the team in receptions (29), receiving yards (340) and receiving touchdowns (three).
