While the 2026 NFL Draft buzz is in full swing, a subtle but significant change has taken place on the Pittsburgh Steelers' roster. Veteran punter Cameron Johnston, back with the team on a one-year deal, has been spotted sporting a new jersey number for the upcoming season.

According to reports, Johnston is now wearing number 19, a digit he currently shares with cornerback Doneiko Slaughter. This switch comes after Johnston rejoined the Steelers in March, looking to reclaim his role following his release the previous year.

As the sole punter currently on the depth chart, Johnston has a prime opportunity to solidify his position. The 2026 campaign represents a fresh start, not just for him but for the special teams unit under new coordinator Danny Crossman. For a nine-year veteran, a new number can symbolize that clean slate and a determined comeback effort in the storied black and gold.
