Why Kaleb Johnson isn't playing for Steelers despite draft status, lack of injury | Sporting News He was picked in the first half of the draft but hardly plays.
OCTOBER 27, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Doesn't see field in primetime Johnson was active but wasn't on the field for any snaps during Thursday's 33-31 loss to the Bengals.
Impact Johnson recorded six carries in each of the Steelers' last two games, but he was held off the field Thursday night despite being active. Jaylen Warren was dominant in Thursday's loss, racking up 158 yards from scrimmage, while Kenneth Gainwell was on the field for 39 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps, so work will likely continue to be hard to come by for Johnson as long as the team's top two running backs are healthy.

Records another six carries in win Johnson rushed six times for 15 yards during Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.
Impact Johnson saw six carries during the Steelers' Week 4 win over the Vikings, and he saw a similar workload following Pittsburgh's Week 5 bye. Jaylen Warren continues to serve as the team's clear lead back, but Johnson has seen slightly more opportunities over the past two games. The 22-year-old's 11 offensive snaps still lagged behind Warren (31) and Kenneth Gainwell (20), and Johnson's fantasy value will likely remain limited as long as those two remain healthy.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 • PENNLIVE.COM
Gets involved in offense Johnson rushed the ball six times for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Vikings.
Impact Jaylen Warren's (knee) absence opened up a lot of opportunity in the Pittsburgh backfield. Kenneth Gainwell was the primary back and performed well, though Johnson did see the most significant opportunity of his rookie season. He was servicable in the role, picking up 14 yards on the ground on a drive early in the fourth quarter to help the Steelers to a field goal. Johnson isn't likely to see much of a role when Pittsburgh returns to the field in Week 6, but it was a small step forward after a poor start to his rookie campaign.

Doesn't play in Week 3 Johnson didn't take the field during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.
Impact Johnson saw minimal snaps over the first two weeks of the regular season, but he was held out Sunday following last week's error on special teams that led to a Seattle touchdown. Jaylen Warren continued to serve as the lead back against New England, playing 80 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps, while Kenneth Gainwell was on the field for 26 percent. As long as Warren and Gainwell are healthy, Johnson has some work to do if he hopes to carve out a fantasy-relevant role.
