Packers Acquire RB Johnson from Steelers

Johnson announced the trade himself on social media, writing 'Appreciate it Steelers Nation. Let's do it Packers,' before multiple reports confirmed the deal on Sunday afternoon. The 23-year-old, a third-round pick by the Steelers in 2025, gained 78 yards on 29 touches in 10 games last season.

The trade comes as the Packers face uncertainty at running back with starter Josh Jacobs charged with two misdemeanors related to a May arrest in Wisconsin. Jacobs could potentially go on paid leave while the league investigates the domestic incident, making Johnson's arrival timely for Green Bay. rocore.sbs
