Steelers elevate wide receivers for Week 7 matchup in Paris
Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers have elevated wide receivers Brandon Johnson and Brandon Smith from their practice squad ahead of their Week 7 game against the New Orleans Saints in Paris.

Johnson has made 26 catches for 335 yards and five touchdowns in his career, while Smith has previously been elevated for games in Week 5 and Week 6.
