Setoristas questionam a permanência de Kaleb Johnson no elenco dos Steelers

O running back do Pittsburgh Steelers, Kaleb Johnson, enfrenta incertezas sobre a garantia de uma vaga no elenco nesta temporada, de acordo com setoristas locais. O jogador, que está em seu segundo ano e foi uma escolha de terceira rodada no draft de 2025, teve um ano de estreia limitado e problemas com times especiais. Novas adições à equipe complicaram ainda mais o seu caminho.

Chris Adamski, do Tribune-Review, expressou dúvidas durante uma participação em um programa de rádio esta semana. “Eu não sei qual é o caminho para ele sequer conseguir uma vaga no elenco”, disse Adamski. “Tenho certeza de que é algo que você deixa acontecer, e ele tem talento, então veremos. Mas, no momento, é realmente… não há muita margem para erro para ele, vamos colocar dessa forma.”
