Ben Roethlisberger Thinks There’s A Chance Steelers Don’t Play Kaleb Johnson ‘The Rest Of The Year’

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie RB Kaleb Johnson made a boneheaded play in the fourth quarter in the Steelers’ 31-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, failing to field a kick that landed in the landing zone and Seattle recovered for a touchdown to take a two-score lead.

Johnson took accountability for the mistake after the game, but Mike Tomlin said he won’t be on kick return, at least for the short-term future, and former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger thinks we may not see Johnson for a long time. On his Footbahlin podcast, Roethlisberger said that, barring injury, he believes Johnson may not play the rest of the year.
