The Steelers signed punter Cameron Johnston to a one-year contract.
Johnston was previously with the Steelers, signing with the team in 2024, but missing time due to an injury. In his eight seasons he has played for Philadelphia (2017-20), Houston (2021-23) Pittsburgh (2024), Buffalo (2025) and the New York Giants (2025).
Johnston has punted 458 times for 21,622 yards, a gross 47.2-yard average, with a net average of 42.0 (19,286 net yards). He has downed 185 punts inside the 20-yard line and 67 punts inside the 10-yard line. He hit a punt of at least 60 yards in each of his first six seasons.
He most recently spent the 2025 with the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills. He punted four times for the Giants for a 45.5-yard average and had seven punts for the Bills for a 44-yard average, appearing in a total of four games between the two teams.
Johnston punted only twice for the Steelers in 2024 before suffering a season-ending injury in the season-opener.
Johnston appeared in 13 games in 2023, punting 66 times for 3,145 yards, a gross 47.7-yard average. He downed 30 punts inside the 20-yard line, an impressive 45 percent. He nailed a 74-yard punt in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers, punting from his own end zone for a career-long, and the longest in Texans history. He punted in both of the Texans postseason games last season, averaging 46 yards in the AFC Wild Card win over the Browns, and 43.4 yards in Divisional Round loss to the Ravens.
In 2022 he led the AFC and tied for second in the NFL with 37 punts inside the 20-yard line, tying a career-high he set in 2021. He ranked first in the AFC with 42.05 percent of his punts landing inside the 20-yard line, and fourth best in the NFL. It was also the fourth highest single season mark in Texans' history. His 42.6-yard net average ranked second in the AFC, while his 48.1-yard gross average ranked third in the AFC.
While with the Eagles he finished fourth in the NFL in punting yards (3,318) and net punting yards (2,2924) in 2020, as well as tying for sixth in the NFL in punts inside the 20-yard line (26). Johnston set single season Eagles' records in gross punting average (48.1) and net punting average (42.7) in 2018.
Johnston played four seasons at Ohio State where he was named Big Ten Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year and was a second-team All-America selection his senior year.
He also attended St. Joseph's College in Newtown, Australia and took part in the Melbourne-based punter/kicker training ground Prokick Australia and was a former Australian Rules football player for Melbourne Football Club.
