Todd Haley Doesn’t Rule Out Seeing Will Johnson at Running Back

Will Johnson isn’t going away without a fight.

Ok, maybe that is some hyperbole. This isn’t Matt Damon getting off Mars in The Martain. But as we’ve written, and you’ve certainly noticed, Johnson has lost his role in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense.

“I feel good about our backs. The other thing we have is Will Johnson who has extensive reps and action in the backfield. Protection wise, all those things. He’s another guy,” Haley told reporters yesterday.

When pressed, Haley did admit Johnson hadn’t worked in the backfield since basically training camp.
