Latest Steelers roster move may spell bad news for Kaleb Johnson

The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting set to face the New England Patriots in Week 3 of the 2025 season in Foxborough. Ahead of that, though, they have made a pair of roster moves.

The Steelers have put offensive lineman Max Scharping on the reserve/injured list. In response to that, Pittsburgh has elevated running back Trey Sermon to the 53-man roster.

This news doesn’t bode well for rookie running back Kaleb Johnson, who had a severe special teams gaffe in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks that led to Seattle scoring a touchdown. With the elevation of Sermon, the speculation is that Johnson could be a healthy scratch.

Sermon was on the Steelers’ practice squad after a solid preseason. He spent 2024 with the Indianapolis Colts, running for two touchdowns.
