O veterano repórter dos Steelers, Mark Kaboly, acredita que a equipe ainda não deve desistir do running back Kaleb Johnson.
Kaboly afirmou na segunda-feira que não viu o suficiente do jogador, que está em seu segundo ano, para considerá-lo uma decepção total ou movê-lo para o time de treino. Ele observou que Johnson pode não passar pela lista de dispensas se for liberado e poderia ser contratado por outra equipe.
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.

Speaking at the NFL owners meetings, McCarthy plans to challenge Johnson to become a three-down player. The former Iowa star struggled with limited chances and inefficiency last year.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson faces stiff competition from newcomer Germie Bernard for playing time. Mark Kaboly believes Wilson will get a chance to earn snaps but questions if he can hold onto them. The receiver group is growing crowded heading into the 2026 season.
