Panthers' Diontae Johnson: Ready for regular role

Johnson (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Johnson had a groin injury pop up Thursday that sidelined him for practice, but he got in a limited session Friday and will be ready for action in Week 4. There doesn't seem to be any concern about his snap count or effectiveness, as Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports that the wide receiver got extra work in with new starting quarterback Andy Dalton throughout the week. Johnson should once again serve as the focal point of Carolina's passing attack.
