The Pittsburgh Steelers apparently can't get enough of one particular wide receiver, who was just brought back for his fourth stint with the Steel City brand of football.
On Tuesday, the Steelers signed former training camp standout wide receiver Brandon Johnson to their practice squad, along with two other players.

DB Car'lin Vigers
WR Brandon Johnson
OLB Bradyn Swinson
Johnson entered the league with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2022. Johnson was released in August 2024 after two seasons in Denver but was quickly picked up by the Steelers.
Signing a reserve/future contract with Pittsburgh in January 2025, Johnson was regarded by some as a training camp and preseason standout
before a foot injury derailed his momentum.
Johnson was released by the Steelers in August 2025 and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad in October. He rejoined the Steelers for a second stint in December.
After a brief stint with the Broncos to close out the 2025 season, Johnson returned to the Steelers for his third stint with the team this past offseason but was released once again in June.
Johnson then signed with the Las Vegas Raiders but was released as a part of final roster cuts, only to join the Steelers' practice squad for his fourth stint with the team on September 1.
