Steelers vs. Colts: Pittsburgh elevates LB Kyron Johnson from practice squad ahead Week 15 game
Kyron Johnson has been elevated to the active/inactive roster for the third consecutive week since being signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in October.
The inside linebacker played primarily on special teams after being selected by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL draft. That’s been his role thus far for Pittsburgh, as well, with each of his 33 snaps coming on special teams.
Given that Week 15 is the third and final time Johnson can be elevated, Pittsburgh will need to sign him to the 53-man roster or risk him going through waivers. According to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com, he’ll revert to the practice squad after the game.
