Kyron Johnson: Finds new opportunity
Johnson is signing with the Steelers' practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Johnson was selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Eagles, but he was unable to garner a roster spot after missing much of training camp due to an appendectomy. He did play 16 games with Philadelphia last season, mostly contributing on special teams and recording eight tackles.

Kyron Johnson: Joins Birds' practice squad
Philadelphia signed Johnson (appendix) to its practice squad Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Johnson missed the end of the Eagles' training camp due to an appendectomy and subsequently didn't make the 53-man roster, but he's now at least back in the fold. He contributed more on special teams than on defense during his rookie season, so if he's to be elevated to the active roster, it will likely be to contribute on that front.
