Behind the Steel Curtain on Kaleb Johnson
From the article
Kaleb Johnson had a grand total of zero offensive snaps and finished the night with two carries for three yards
STACKED’s take
Johnson benched with zero snaps in first half, two carries for 3 yards; likely off roster by September.
Johnson had zero offensive snaps in the first 30 minutes and finished with just two carries for three yards in the preseason opener. The source notes that Travis Homer took first-team reps and Lew Nichols rotated in with meaningful carries, placing Johnson at RB5 in the rotation when accounting for inactive Rico Dowdle and Jaylen Warren. The source emphasizes the significance of this lack of playing time given Johnson's disappointing rookie season (28 carries, 69 yards) and states: 'The Steelers told you without saying a word how they feel about the former third-round pick.' The source concludes: 'it looks like a forgone conclusion that he won't be on the roster come September' and recommends the team trade him for draft capital.
