PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Cleveland Browns without Pro Bowl guard David DeCastro and wide receiver Diontae Johnson. The AFC North-leading Steelers ruled both players out due to injury. DeCastro left last Sunday’s win over Philadelphia with an abdominal injury and did not practice all week. Rookie Kevin Dotson will start in place of DeCastro. Johnson, Pittsburgh’s second-leading receiver, injured his back on a punt return against the Eagles and practiced sparingly this week. His absence means a larger role for rookie Chase Claypool, who scored four times against Philadelphia.
