Beat writers question Kaleb Johnson's Steelers roster spot

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.

Chris Adamski of the Tribune-Review expressed doubts during a radio appearance this week. “I don’t know what the path is even to make the roster,” Adamski said. “I’m sure that’s something you let it play out, and he has the talent, so we’ll see. But right now it, it’s really…there’s not much margin for error for him, let’s put it that way.”
