The Green Bay Packers are acquiring running back Kaleb Johnson from the Pittsburgh Steelers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, with the two clubs working to finalize the deal.
Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero): Trade! The Steelers and Packers are working to finalize a trade sending RB Kaleb Johnson to Green Bay, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Johnson, Pittsburgh's third-round pick out of Iowa in the 2025 draft, gives Green Bay added insurance at running back behind Josh Jacobs. The move arrives as Jacobs deals with an off-field legal situation and possible NFL suspension. Johnson's arrival adds a young, early-Day-3 back to a Packers room that now has another option behind its established starter heading into the season.
