Packers Acquire RB Kaleb Johnson from Steelers

Kaleb Johnson has been traded from the Steelers to the Packers, a move he announced himself before it was confirmed by various reports on Sunday afternoon.

The Packers are facing uncertainty at the running back position due to starter Josh Jacobs, who is under investigation for two misdemeanors related to a May incident in Wisconsin. Jacobs may face paid leave while the league looks into the matter.

At 23 years old, Johnson was a third-round pick by the Steelers in 2025 and has recorded 29 touches for 78 yards over 10 games in his NFL career, providing the Packers with additional depth at the position.
