Third-round rookie running back Kaleb Johnson barely saw the field in the Pittsburgh Steelers' trip across the pond. While that's been par for the course thus far early in his NFL career, it's especially noteworthy because starter Jaylen Warren was a surprise inactive.
When will Johnson earn consistent playing time in the rotation if not when Warren is out of the lineup? Moreover, the jet lag of a five-hour time difference from Pittsburgh to Dublin, Ireland, certainly would've justified a committee approach. Yet, veteran Kenneth Gainwell dominated the Steelers' backfield in the team's 24-21 International Series win over the Minnesota Vikings.
