The Pittsburgh Steelers have released WR Brandon Johnson from IR with an injury settlement, per Aaron Wilson on X.
Johnson was having a nice camp and preseason up until he suffered a foot injury in the final preseason game against the Carolina Panthers. He was waived/injured at roster cutdowns and is now being released from IR.
Originally entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022 to the Denver Broncos, Johnson joined the Steelers’ practice squad shortly after roster cutdowns in 2024. He was activated from the practice squad three times and subsequently signed a future contract to be part of the Steelers’ offseason 90-man roster.
