Longtime Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly believes the team should not give up on running back Kaleb Johnson yet.
Kaboly said Monday he has not seen enough from the second-year player to consider him a total bust or move him to the practice squad. He noted Johnson might not clear waivers if released and could be claimed elsewhere.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson faces uncertainty about securing a roster spot this season, according to local beat writers. The second-year player, a third-round draft pick in 2025, had a limited rookie year and special-teams issues. New additions to the team have further complicated his path forward.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson is expected to secure the No. 3 spot on the depth chart for the 2026 season. Beat writer Ray Fittipaldo made the assessment during a weekly chat on Wednesday. He cited the team's history with third-round picks entering their second year.
Mark Kaboly believes the Pittsburgh Steelers' third wide receiver will play a smaller role than expected in the upcoming season. With DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. as the main targets, the position could account for just 25 to 30 percent of snaps.
