- Robbins was released after averaging 39.5 yards on four punts in the opener, a performance that ranked worst by EPA among NFL punters last weekend.
- Johnston was signed to the 53-man roster following a Tuesday workout that also included Matthew Hayball and Ryan Stonehouse.
- The 33-year-old Australian has played 96 NFL games with the Eagles and Texans before a brief Steelers stint, posting career averages of about 47.3 gross and 42 net yards per punt.
- He missed most of 2024 with a Week 1 knee injury in Pittsburgh and was released in August after losing the Steelers’ job to Corliss Waitman.
