After his special teams mistake in Week 2 that played a key part in a loss, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson didn’t play a single snap in Week 3 on the road against the New England Patriots.
It might stay that way for a bit, too.
Though he was active and had a helmet on gameday, Johnson didn’t see the field. Veteran running back Trey Sermon was elevated from the practice squad and played on special teams over Johnson as the rookie sat and watched.
That could continue deep into the season.
